description Stanton Peele Overview
Stanton Peele is an American psychologist, author, and critic of conventional addiction theory. In Love and Addiction, published in 1975 with Archie Brodsky, he argued that compulsive involvement can arise from relationships between people, behavior, and social environment rather than from a fixed disease alone. His later writing continued to emphasize learning, culture, personal agency, and harm reduction, making his work relevant to debates about how dependency is defined and treated.
