Peg O’Connor PhD, joins us to discuss the history of AA and the roots of the “higher power”. In this very poignant episode we learn how to approach patients who might be put off by the 12-step dogma plus Dr. O’Connor gives us so much more wisdom in how to reach our patients with alcohol use disorders. This is a can’t miss episode. Hosted by Paula Cook, MD and Darlene Petersen, MD.
