In my experience, I have found that basically everyone is capable of moderating.
Imagine a world where substance abuse treatment isn't just about quitting cold turkey but about genuinely understanding and supporting the person behind the addiction. That's exactly what Kenneth Anderson dives into with his guest, Dr. Debra Rothschild, in this episode of Harm Reduction Radio. Dr. Rothschild, a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychology at NYU and a seasoned harm reduction psychotherapist, brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.
She passionately discusses how harm reduction therapy focuses on minimizing the negative impacts of substance use, not just demanding abstinence. This approach can be a lifeline for those who find traditional methods too rigid or unattainable. But that's not all – Dr. Rothschild introduces us to relational psychoanalysis, a method that values the therapeutic relationship itself as a crucial part of healing.
She explains how blending these two approaches can create a more personalized and effective treatment plan, addressing trauma and providing practical homework assignments to help patients in their daily lives. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in compassionate, evidence-based approaches to addiction treatment. Whether you're personally affected by substance use or simply curious about innovative therapy methods, you'll find Dr. Rothschild's insights both enlightening and hopeful.
