Stanton Peele

Stanton Peele is a psychologist and addiction expert known for his approach that challenges traditional views of addiction. He emphasizes that addiction is often a result of emotional, social, and psychological factors rather than purely biological or moral failings. Peele advocates for understanding addiction as a part of the human experience related to coping with life's challenges, suggesting that recovery involves building meaningful life experiences and changing environments, rather than just focusing on stopping substance use. His perspective promotes personal empowerment and a broader view of addiction treatment.
