Substance abuse is a complex, multidimensional disorder. While it is traditionally characterized as a "biopsychosocial" disease, the role of psychotherapy in treating addiction is paradoxically given short shrift or ignored completely in traditional treatment approaches based on the disease model.

In this white paper Arnold M. Washton, Ph.D, and Michael D. Lukens, Ph.D., of the Washton Lukens Institute of Palm Beach discuss an integrated approach to treating addiction that goes beyond the addiction itself to address multiple areas of an individual's psychological and emotional functioning, as in any psychotherapy.
