Stanton Peele is a psychologist who has changed the addiction field. He has pioneered, among other things, the idea that addiction occurs with a range of experiences, and the “harm reduction” approach to addiction.
This site contains much of his widely published writing, as well as his opinions and communications with people with addictive problems.
7 Tools to Beat Addiction
Once again, Dr. Stanton Peele confronts the sacred cows of the addiction / recovery industry with a new book that shows how to overcome addiction with or without treatment. In 7 Tools to Beat Addiction, Peele liberates readers from the disease model of addiction and presents a program for recovery based on his thoroughly grounded and sane perspective on the nature of addictions of all kinds.
THE LIFE PROCESS PROGRAM ©
Stanton has now created a pioneering version of the Life Process Program ©, in conjunction solely with the St. Gregory Retreat Center, of Iowa. It is the first nationwide program based on skills, values, self-motivation, and life-long learning. The two-month residential program includes dietary, exercise, meditational-spiritual components as well as the most advanced cognitive-behavioral training in the addiction field.
