Dr. Phil's "Addiction"

Update: 2012-09-23

Description

Dr. Phil and other talk show 'psychologists' promote common misconceptions about drug addiction which may do a considerable disservice to the field. The quest for ratings points combined with the public's seemingly insatiable desire to see psychodrama played out on television perpetuate myths and misunderstandings about drug addiction. The sad truth is that "addiction as a brain disease" just doesn't fill out a 60-minute program nor boost popularity with audiences.
