Everything you think you know about addiction is wrong.
Ever wondered how one person can shake up an entire field? In this episode of 'The Social Exchange', host Zach Rhoads chats with Stanton Peele, a maverick in addiction psychology. Peele dives into his memoir, 'A Scientific Life on the Edge', sharing stories from his groundbreaking career. Starting with his General Theory of Addiction from his 1975 book 'Love and Addiction', Peele takes us through his journey as an outsider in mainstream psychology.
He discusses how he maintained an influential career without institutional backing and why he believes love can be the most harmful addiction of all. Peele also touches on the harm reduction movement and the importance of living a balanced life. If you're curious about alternative perspectives on addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
