Description

This is a short clip from Zach Rhoads' forthcoming interview with Dr. Stanton Peele.

Stanton wrote the best-selling 1975 book, Love and Addiction, in which he laid out a conceptualization of addiction that transcended the drug-centered conceptualization with which the world was familiar.

In this clip, Zach expresses to Stanton how his concept rings true in his own life as he compares his own heroin addiction to destructive relationships with women. Zach runs a thought experiment about how those relationships could have metastasized if he would have pursued them into the future.

Stanton responds.
