As the staff physician at the Portland Hotel in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Maté has been on the frontlines for a decade treating patients diagnosed with mental illness, HIV, addiction, and combinations of the three.
Dr. Maté achieved fame for his bestselling books:
• Scattered: How Attention Deficit Disorder Originates And What You Can Do About It
• When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress
• Hold On To Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers, with Dr. Gordon Neufel
His fourth and latest book, In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction, takes a similarly holistic approach to addiction, attempting to break down the us-and-them mentality that characterizes so many writings (and policy decisions) about addiction. .
We invite you to join us to hear Dr. Maté discuss his books and other subjects at the Skirball Cultural Center. Please RSVP: info@writersintreatment.org.
