[Psychotherapy and rehumanization from addictions. A model for personalist bioethics]

If we agree that there is any chance of overcoming addictions, however remote, and that man would not be man if he did not have that opportunity, we conclude that there must be a model or theory to back it up. Our proposal in this paper is to approach the addictive phenomenon from the perspective of re-humanization, an anthropological and therapeutic model corroborated by Re-humanizing Therapeutic Communities as a healing therapy that helps the most dehumanized persons in society. This valuable theoretical and practical model, which we have come to call "re-humanization Philosophy" for more than ten years, may be of help for the epistemology of present-day Personalist Bioethics.
