The Hungry Ghost

The Hungry Ghost

A Biopsychosocial Perspective on Addiction, from Heroin to Workaholism

Recorded Saturday 16 January 2021

With Dr Gabor Maté

CPD Credits: 2.5 hours

For twelve years Gabor Maté was the staff physician at a clinic for drug-addicted people in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where he worked with patients challenged by hard-core drug addiction, mental illness and HIV, including at Vancouver Supervised Injection Site.

In his most recent bestselling book, In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts, he shows that their addictions do not represent a discrete set of medical disorders; rather, they merely reflect the extreme end of a continuum of addiction, mostly hidden, that runs throughout our society. The book draws on cutting-edge science to illuminate where and how addictions originate and what they have in common.
