Stanton Peele

Addiction expert

Stanton Peele, PhD, JD, has been a cutting-edge figure in the addiction field for four decades, since publishing Love and Addiction in 1975. Stanton has challenged the ideas that addiction is limited to drugs, that abstinence and the 12 steps are the only possible responses to addiction, and that addiction can be remedied biologically. His current work includes Recover! Stop Thinking Like an Addict with The PERFECT Program, and the Life Process Program for addiction, which is utilized worldwide.
