Attitudes & Stigma Around Addiction

Presenter: John Kelly, PhD, ABPP, Harvard University

The goal of this webinar series from the CTN Western States Node and the Northwest and Pacific Southwest ATTCs is to help scholars and clinicians in the addiction field stay abreast of cutting edge science.

In this session, John Kelly, PhD, ABPP of Harvard University discussed the fundamental causes of stigma and discrimination in relation to substance use disorder, reviewed some of the paradoxical findings from the latest stigma research, and suggested how stigma and discrimination might be more systematically addressed to enhance the clinical care and outcomes of individuals suffering from substance use disorder.
