We want and expect our developmental model to be helpful to you and your own life and to all parents, as well as teachers, counselors and other professionals.
Have you ever wondered if there's a different way to understand and tackle addiction? In this episode of 'The Social Exchange', Zach Rhoads gives listeners a sneak peek into the audiobook 'Outgrowing Addiction: With Common Sense Instead of "Disease" Therapy'. Co-authored by Stanton Peel and Zach Rhoads, this book challenges the conventional belief that addiction is a disease, proposing instead a more holistic approach that emphasizes personal strengths and normal developmental processes.
The episode kicks off with a heartfelt foreword by Tom Horvath, Ph.D., ABPP, followed by an engaging introduction that sets the stage for what promises to be a thought-provoking read. Rhoads’ narration brings the text to life, making it accessible and relatable for anyone who’s curious about alternative views on addiction. Peel and Rhoads argue that the disease model of addiction is not only limiting but also harmful.
They believe that by viewing addiction through a broader lens, we can better support individuals in their journey to recovery. The episode is filled with inspiring stories of change and practical advice for child-rearing, aiming to shift societal perceptions for the better. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in the topic, this episode offers valuable insights that could change how you think about addiction and recovery.
Tune in for a refreshing take on a complex issue and discover how focusing on personal growth and development can lead to lasting change.
