I don’t want to work with addicts!
Therapists’ concerns about treating people in the grip of an addiction
A Zoom presentation by Eugene Goldwater, M.D.
Understanding addiction is easy.
Treating it is simple.

What do we not want to know?

1. Three pillars of connection, and what gets in the way of building them.
2. Roads to burnout and roads to fulfillment.
3. How treating others helps us to treat ourselves—and vice versa.
