About Dr. Daniel Slavin
My father, Dr. Joseph G. Slavin, trained with Dr. Harry Stack Sullivan, and his work influenced me to teach Adlerian-Dreikursian Child Rearing Techniques on "Saturday Circus".
I was Adjunct Faculty at Antioch University Seattle and the John Bastyr Medical School. I've consulted at drug treatment centers and provided substance abuse therapy at major music festivals.
With over 30 years of practice, I've developed a similar approach to the Twelve Step Program that can be applied to various addictions, including sexual addiction, gambling, and eating disorders.
During my professional training, I studied the Inca Civilization in South America and developed a therapy model based on their culture's behaviors, developments, and origins. This model provides a simple, step-by-step outline that can be customized to fit each patient's unique needs. As a result of my research, I developed techniques for radio and television and established clinics where I trained other professionals in my approach. My work with the Crisis Clinic of Thurston Mason Counties became a model program duplicated nationwide.
