The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Bryony Gordon’s Mad World: Gabor Maté | Podcast” – below is their description.
Gabor Maté is a doctor and expert in addiction, stress and childhood development. But he’s also something of a revolutionary, challenging all our assumptions about what it is to be well. His book, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, was a great comfort to Bryony when she had to get sober, and you’ve probably heard her talk about it with other guests here on Mad World. His new book, The Myth of Normal, looks at trauma, illness and healing in a toxic culture.
Gabor joins Bryony to talk about why he would ban the word ‘addict’ and how he thinks that in 150 years we’ll look back in horror that we’ve been separating the mind and the body in healthcare.
