The therapeutic alliance is getting talked about by quite a lot of people recently as really the most important thing of all. Yeah, and I think that what happens when we're able to engage in that kind of an alliance is that we are basically saying to the person: I want to know who you are and I want to know what you think is important.
What if the traditional approaches to addiction treatment aren't the best fit for everyone? In this thought-provoking episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS, host Kenneth Anderson chats with two pioneering voices in the field of addiction: Patt Denning, Ph.D., and Gabrielle Glaser. Denning delves into her latest work, 'Practicing Harm Reduction Psychotherapy 2nd Edition', offering fresh perspectives on therapeutic alliances and the importance of patience in recovery.
This isn't just an update—it's a whole new book that mental health professionals should have on their shelves. Glaser brings a different angle, discussing her upcoming book 'Uncorked', which dives deep into the history of women and alcohol in America. She sheds light on why AA might not be the best fit for many women and explores the cultural patterns that shape women's drinking habits.
The conversation also touches on sensitive topics like the trauma work in addiction treatment and the contentious view of alcoholism as a disease. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in cutting-edge approaches to substance abuse, offering a blend of professional insights and cultural critique that challenges conventional wisdom.
