How to beat your addictions, literally: Siberian psychologists thrash patients with sticks to help them kick their habits | Mail Online
Siberian psychologists claim they are helping drug, drink or sex addicts kick their habits by literally beating it out of them with corporal punishment.
The painful treatment, which involves lashing addicts on the buttocks, could help cure drug-users such as Pete Doherty or anyone who has failed with other methods, its practitioners claim.
However, 'the reaction of most people is predictable: to s######, scoff or make jokes loaded with sexual innuendo,' said The Siberian Times, which watched two patients undergo the 'therapy'
'We cane the patients on the buttocks with a clear and definite medical purpose - it is not some warped sado-masochistic activity,' said Professor Chukhrova.
The pair claim addicts suffer from a lack of endorphins - often known as 'happiness hormones'.
The acute pain of the corporal punishment they dish out stimulates the brain to release endorphins into the body 'making patients feel happier in their own skins'.
