Draft:Arnold M. Washton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: "addictive properties.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]" is one of a number of prime examples of WP:CITEKILL. Instead we need one excellent reference per fact asserted. If you are sure it is beneficial, two, and at an absolute maximum, three. Three is not a target, it's a limit. Aim for one. A fact you assert, once verified in a reliable source, is verified. More is gilding the lily. Please choose the very best in each case of multiple referencing for a single point and either drop or repurpose the remainder.
    Performing a review is impossible until you have refined your references. Please remove the WP:BOMBARD then we can see what is what 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 15:08, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: If you can show that at least two of his books have at least two professional reviews, this will show sufficient notability under WP:NAUTHOR. But can you please also clean up some of the promotional language of this draft while you're at it? Have a look at WP:WTW. Aim for a respectable "bland". asilvering (talk) 18:29, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Citations have been added (though some assertions are still unsupported). However, most references are not from independent, secondary sources with reputations for accuracy or fact-checking - the draft is heavily dependent on sources associated with Washton (organisations he has worked for, businesses he started, his publishers, etc). The NYT article is reliable, but further significant coverage of Washton in independent sources is needed. Paul W (talk) 18:14, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Sections of this are unsourced. As per WP:BLP every single statement must be sourced. I am not quite sure how this person meets WP:NACADEMIC either. Qcne (talk) 18:47, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Arnold M. Washton is an American psychologist, author, researcher, and educator working in the field of addiction psychology. He has written ten textbooks, four monographs published by the Hazelden Foundation, and over 30 articles in refereed journals. His work has influenced policy on addiction research and treatment.[1] He continues to provide professional training through the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University.[2][3][4]

Education

[edit]

A native of New York City, born and raised in The Bronx, Washton began his education in psychology at New York University where he earned a B.A. degree in 1968, followed by an M.A. from Queens College of The City University of New York 1973 and a Ph.D. in Psychology from The Graduate School of the City University of New York in 1978.[5]

Career

[edit]

Starting in the early 1980s, he highlighted the emerging issue of cocaine use in the United States and contributed to the understanding of its addictive properties.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] He has been active in understanding the role of medication assisted treatment for addiction, including the role of opioid antagonists such as naloxone and naltrexone.[16][17][18] Washton has developed approaches to addiction for professionals struggling with substance abuse.[19][20] He has promoted evidence-based treatment protocol for substance abuse, including marijuana abuse[21][22][23][24], and has published on protocols for outpatient treatment of substance abuse.[25][26]

He has been quoted in the press as a commentator on addiction issues, especially on topics related to challenges faced by professionals.[27][28][29][30]

Clinical work

[edit]

In 1998, Washton founded Recovery Options,[31] a private practice in New York City. With his wife, Loraine Washton, he formed The Washton Group[32] in Princeton, NJ, offering a range of online telehealth addiction and mental health services. The Washton Group specializes in the treatment of executives, professionals, and their families. Treatment incorporates group and individual therapy to support diverse substance use goals, including abstinence, harm reduction, and alcohol moderation. In clinical practice, and in publications, he advances the thesis that "willpower" should not be viewed as a necessary and sufficient condition for recovery.[33][34]

Academic positions

[edit]

In addition to his clinical practice, Washton provides professional training recognized by the Society of Addiction Psychology[35] through the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University.[3]

Public service and policy advocacy

[edit]

Washton has served on the Substance Abuse Advisory Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the American Psychological Association and has provided expert testimony on drug abuse trends in America to both the United States Senate and the House of Representatives.[5]

Publications

[edit]

Washton has written ten textbooks published between 1987 and 2023, four monographs published by the Hazelden Foundation (Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation),[36] and over 30 articles in refereed journals, including early investigation of the efficacy of Naltrexone.[37] “Treating Alcohol and Drug Problems in Psychotherapy Practice: Doing What Works”, co-authored with Joan Zweben, was published in 2006 and updated in 2023.[38][39][40]
