Addiction Research & Therapy

Brand new cutting-edge Caregiver’s Dual Diagnosis Addiction Treatment Manual by Beverly Hills Psychologist Paul F. Singh, MA, LP: Dual diagnosis in alcohol and drug rehab treats both the addiction and psychological issues. Addiction is rarely the only issue facing clients and is oft en just a symptom related to underlying issues in early childhood attachment disorders. A person who has a dual diagnosis has two separate illnesses, and each illness needs its own treatment plan. Attachment disorders describe disorders of mood, behavior, and social relationships due to a failure to form normal attachments to primary caregiving fi gures in early childhood. Th is involves early experiences of neglect, abuse, and an abrupt separation from baby/young child (between 1 month old to 3 years of age) with caregivers. Psychologist Paul Singh shows

how most traditional rehab therapy fails people. It targets only 25% of a person’s story. Who would seek surgery that removed just one-fourth of a cancerous tumor? Psychologist Singh not only insightfully addresses the 25%, he skillfully unveils the remaining 75%. As clients understand 100% of their pain and what they’re doing with it, they will no longer simply manage their symptoms. Th ey can now be in a process of healing their attachment disorders. Th is integrated holistic (body, soul and spirit) model can bring lasting change to those struggling with addictions.
