Opening Plenary: The Heroic Journey of Addiction Recoverypresented by Dr. Michael Cowl Gordon, MD, FASAM Friday, April 19, 20243.0 CE/Clock HoursThe course presents a new framework for addiction recovery--that of the heroic journey. The mythic heroic journey was described by Joseph Campbell, a philosopher and educator as a model of challenge in life. The course begins with an introduction explaining how this idea presented itself to me during the course of my addiction medicine practice. Storytelling is a powerful method of teaching, and will be utilized in the program as examples of the stages of the heroic journey are discussed.
