We look at harm reduction psychotherapy as a truly revolutionary collaboration between the client and the clinician, with each one bringing essential knowledge and skills to the treatment relationship.
Imagine a world where addiction treatment isn't about strict abstinence but understanding and collaboration. In this thought-provoking episode of the LPP Podcast, Dr. Stanton Peele sits down with Patt Denning and Jeannie Little, the trailblazing authors of 'Over The Influence'. These pioneers in harm reduction therapy offer a refreshing take on addiction treatment, one that respects the individual's relationship with substances rather than opposing it outright.
Their conversation dives deep into the practicalities and philosophies behind harm reduction psychotherapy, revealing how mutual respect and continuous assessment between client and clinician can lead to meaningful progress. Denning and Little don't shy away from discussing the challenges of traditional treatment methods. They share their experiences and strategies for dealing with hostile audiences and training outreach workers, making this episode a treasure trove of practical advice.
The duo also highlights their work with diverse groups, including homeless youth in San Francisco, showcasing the adaptability and inclusiveness of their approach. If you're curious about innovative addiction treatments or seeking new ways to support someone struggling with substance use, this episode is a must-listen. It’s not just about changing how we treat addiction; it's about changing how we understand it. Tune in to hear how Denning and Little are revolutionizing the field with their commonsense, empathetic approach.
