The Sheri and Erin Show are honored to host bestselling author Dr. Gabor Maté. From Dr. Mate comes the definitive new book on addiction. The book is entitled "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction" (January 5, 2010). This comprehensive roadmap to understanding addiction comes from a celebrated and bold-minded addiction physician, and offers profound observations on interactions with patients, cutting edge neurological and psychological research on the brain chemistry of addiction, and sane drug policy recommendations that reflects new knowledge about the origins and treatment of addiction. For over twelve years, Dr. Maté has been the staff physician at the Portland Hotel, a residence and harm reduction facility in Vancouver, Canada’s Downtown Eastside. His patients are challenged by life threatening drug addictions, mental illness, Hepatitis C or HIV and, in many cases, all four. But if his patients are at the far end of the spectrum, there are many others who are also struggling with addictions to prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco, work, food, sex, gambling and excessive inappropriate spending. Maté offers wise insights into what is amiss in our lives that we seek such self-destructive ways to comfort ourselves, and why is it so difficult to stop these habits, even as they threaten our health, jeopardize our relationships and corrode our lives. Gabor Maté MD is a Vancouver, BC-based physician, author, seminar leader, and acclaimed public speaker. His four books, all bestsellers in Canada, range in topic from Attention Deficit Disorder (Scattered), to the mind/body unity and the influence of stress in health and illness (When the Body Says No), to the perilous loss of parental influence in today's culture (Hold onto Your Kids).
