Biographie de l'auteur

Dr. Gerald Schmeling is an expert in substance abuse, a specially trained and experienced clinical psychologist, now retired. He has helped thousands of abusers in the widest range of public and private settings over the course of a thirty-year career. Dr. Schmeling, like most professionals, came to realize that what "everyone" knows about substance abuse and how to treat it have not decreased drug abuse or the supply. In addition to clinical practice, Dr. Schmeling has taught college courses, conducted research, consulted with agencies, and trained and supervised both professionals and non-degreed personnel. Dr. Schmeling's goal is to bring safe and effective assessment, treatment, and prevention of drug abuse to the millions of abusers not being reached nor well treated by disease and saying "no."
