Draft:Arnold M. Washton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • 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)

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

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] 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.[12][13][14] Washton has developed approaches to addiction for successful, functional, educated professionals struggling with substance abuse.[15][16] He has been an advocate for evidence-based treatment protocols for substance abuse, including marijuana abuse[17][18][19][20], and has published on protocols for outpatient treatment of substance abuse.[21][22]

He has been quoted in the press and made appearances on television and radio programs as a commentator on addiction issues and served as a consultant to government organizations, major corporations, and professional sports teams, especially on topics related to challenges faced by highly functional people.[23][24][25][26]

Clinical work

In 1998, Washton founded Recovery Options,[27] a private practice in New York City. With his wife, Loraine Washton, he formed The Washton Group[28] 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 other high-functioning individuals and their families, providing personalized care that incorporates a range of treatment services to support various substance use goals, including abstinence, harm reduction, and alcohol moderation.
