Future of Health: Gabor Mate: Understanding Addiction

Town Hall Seattle
Seattle, WA

Addictions fill celebrity tabloids and fuel reality TV shows, but the true reality is that even those of us who know an addict, or have experienced addiction, have a hard time fully understanding the void that addiction attempts to fill, or know how to address it. But bestselling writer and physician Gabor Mate(In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts), who has worked with the severely addicted on Vancouver' Skid Row, explains the phenomenon by describing its root causesa complex interplay of personal history, emotional and neurological development, brain chemistry, and Western culture. Presented as part of Town Hall' Future of Health Lecture Series with Elliott Bay Book Company. Series sponsored by Bastyr University and PCC Natural Markets.
