Pax Prentiss Discusses Amy Winehouse’s Death On CNN’s “Headline News” – Pax Prentiss, CEO and co-founder of Passages Malibu, talks about the addiction-related death of Amy Winehouse on CNN’s “Headline News.” “What Amy needed was individual therapy that focused on healing the underlying conditions that were causing her to use. The treatment centers that she was in focused on group meetings and as a result, she didn’t get the individual therapy that she needed and so when she got out, she relapsed,” explains Pax.
