Dr. Phil McGraw
About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Phil engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Clayton English and Greg Glod, hosts of Lava for Good's “The War on Drugs,” shedding light on the critical need for a transformation in our approach to drug addiction-- a departure from punitive measures towards healthcare-driven strategies. Continuing the exploration of societal challenges, Dr. Phil then delves into a dynamic conversation with Laura Nirider, an attorney and co-director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions, and David Thompson, an expert in interrogation training and certified forensic interviewer. Together, they navigate the intricate intersection of legal defense and law enforcement training. 

Learn the importance of reducing stigma surrounding addiction, fostering self-worth, and providing comprehensive support to individuals on their path to recovery. Also, gain valuable insights into the complexities of interrogations, the pressing need for reform in law enforcement practices, and the pursuit of justice.
