Reviews
"A courageous indictment of the destructive mindset that alldeviant behavior is a disease. Peele offers mindful alternatives tothose suffering from addictions and to professionals seeking tohelp them." (Ellen Langer, professor of psychology, HarvardUniversity) "I found the arguments in Diseasing of America persuasive andcarefully documented. While I find current addiction-treatmentmodels helpful, I think it is critical to look at Stanton Peele'swork to question our fundamental assumptions and adjust them on thebasis of data." (Jennifer P. Schneider, author of Back FromBetrayal and Sex, Lies, and Forgiveness, and member of the AmericanSociety of Addiction Medicine) "A provocative review of the uses and abuses of the disease modelin the past three decades. This important book has significantlyadded to my education and clinical understanding of addiction in myprofessional practice." (Richard R. Irons, The MenningerClinic) "Peele makes it clear that the disease model of addiction is anemperor without clothes. By placing addictive behaviors in thecontext of other problems of living, he emphasizes personalresponsibility for one's habits. The book empowers the reader toview addiction in a new optimistic light." (G. Alan Marlatt,director, Addictive Behaviors Research Center, University ofWashington, and coauthor of Relapse Prevention)
