About the author
Gabor Maté
70 books8,598 followersDr Gabor Maté (CM) is a Hungarian-born Canadian physician who specializes in the study and treatment of addiction and is also widely recognized for his unique perspective on Attention Deficit Disorder and his firmly held belief in the connection between mind and body health.
Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1944, he is a survivor of the Nazi genocide. His maternal grandparents were killed in Auschwitz when he was five months old, his aunt disappeared during the war, and his father endured forced labour at the hands of the Nazis.
He emigrated to Canada with his family in 1957. After graduating with a B.A. from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and a few years as a high school English and literature teacher, he returned to school to pursue his childhood dream of being a physician.
Maté ran a private family practice in East Vancouver for over twenty years. He was also the medical co-ordinator of the Palliative Care Unit at Vancouver Hospital for seven years. Currently he is the staff physician at the Portland Hotel, a residence and resource centre for the people of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Many of his patients suffer from mental illness, drug addiction and HIV, or all three.
Most recently, he has written about his experiences working with addicts in In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts.
He made national headlines in defense of the physicians working at Insite (a legal supervised safe injection site) after the federal Minister of Health, Tony Clement, attacked them as unethical.

El mejor libro de crianza que he leído este 2025. Un gran recordatorio y llamada de atención a los padres de familia sobre la importancia de los adultos en la vida de nuestros hijos como un nido protector de los peligros digitales y de la base de su salud mental. Especialmente para los que vamos para la adolescencia de nuestros hijos este libro te recuerda la importancia de estar cerca de ellos, de transmitir nuestras tradiciones familiares, y nuestros valores como la mejor herramienta para su independencia y resiliencia.

Adorei ler este livro que nos dá uma perspectiva clara do papel dos pais na sociedade actual, com exemplos sobre o impacto que tem o apego aos pares , em detrimento do apego aos pais.
