Call in: 347-308-8478\\n\\nDr O\'onner\'s background: My work is presently heading in two directions though they seem destined to intersect. I have written several essays that interrogate the mind/body dualism from the perspectives of abuse and trauma survivors.\\n\\nMy other recent work brings philosophical insights to issues of addiction and recovery. I have a new book forthcoming January 2016 titled, Life on the Rocks: Finding Meaning in Addiction and Recovery. Here is a link to a short interview from The Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tom-morris/philosophy-and-addiction_b_999933.html\\xa0 I also have four pieces in The New York Times, one of which examines Plato\'s allegory of the cave as a way to understand addiction and recovery. Another piece rejects the analogy that addictions hijack brains. The third explores William James\'s notion of a "misery threshold." Links to them are found here: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/author/peg-o%E2%80%99connor/\\n\\nI also have\\xa0 blog with Psychology Today\\xa0titled, "Philosophy Stirred, Not Shaken." \\xa0 The address is: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/philosophy-stirred-not-shaken I also have a blog with Rehabs.com, which is an online resource for all matters treatment related.
