New York Times best selling author Maia Szalavitz talks about
her most recent book, “Undoing Drugs: How Harm Reduction Is
Changing the Future of Drugs and Addiction” and the future of drug
treatment and policy. Maia’s previous New York Times bestseller,
Unbroken Brain: A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding Addiction
wove together neuroscience and social science with her personal
experience of heroin addiction. It won the 2018 media award from
the National Institute on Drug Abuse. She is a contributing opinion
writer for the New York Times and has written for numerous other
publications, including TIME, Wired, Elle, the Nation, and
Scientific American. Maia’s many works and contact information can
