Fraser, Elizabeth, and n/a. "Addiction and subjectivity : concepts of personhood and illness in 12 step fellowships." University of Canberra. Education, 1997. http://erl.canberra.edu.au./public/adt-AUC20060710.143358.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an investigation into ways of seeing 12 Step fellowships. The
latter provide a popular but controversial means of recovery from various
addictive behaviours. The conceptual basis of 12 Step fellowships is the idea
that addictions are an illness or disease, and this idea has become the focus
of the negative critiques of 12 Step fellowships. Concepts of illness and
disease are closely related to concepts of personhood. What 12 Step
discourses construct as 'illness' can also be understood as a condition
characterised by failure of human capacities for agency, choice, and
responsibility. How we understand 12 Step discourses of addiction, illness,
and recovery will depend greatly upon the concepts of personhood, illness,
and knowledge that inform our view.
In order to investigate the concepts that make diverging views of 12 Step
fellowships possible, this study develops post-Enlightenment concepts of
personhood, illness and knowledge. I use these concepts as a lens with which
to examine the negative critiques, and to provide a more positive reading of
12 Step fellowships and illness concepts. In doing so, this thesis aims to
show, first, that a positive view that can articulate the value of 12 Step
fellowships to 12 Step members is possible, and second, that 12 Step
fellowship discourses are philosophically interesting and challenge modern
western notions of the self and its capacities.
The thesis has six chapters. Chapter One presents an overview of the study,
and introduces the basic concepts and practices of 12 Step fellowships.
Chapter Two presents an epistemology called perspectivism which provides
my research methodology as well as a means of analysing the
epistemological assumptions at work in the negative critiques of 12 Step
discourses.
In order to understand how the capacities of the self may fail, and how such
failures might be remedied, Chapter Three presents a post-Enlightenment
theorisation of personhood as constituted, embodied, and socially embedded
subjectivity. This theorisation enables us to examine how embodied selves
may be constituted with diminished capacities for agency, responsibility,
and choice, and permits the construction of an account of addiction that
explains why addictive disorders are a significant social problem in
contemporary western societies. Finally, this theorisation enables us to
investigate the concepts of personhood that inform the negative critiques.
Chapter Four investigates how concepts of illness inform the negative
critiques, and shows that it is possible to understand terms such as 'illness'
and 'disease' in a non-medical sense. Arguably, such understandings are
better able to illuminate the connection between the notion of illness and
recovery practices in 12 Step discourses of addiction.
Chapter Five uses the conceptual framework provided by Chapters Two,
Three, and Four to present a positive view of 12 Step fellowships and
discourses. The three key features of this view are, first, that 12 Step
fellowship discourses describe addictions as an illness of the self; second,
they provide a phenomenology of the sick self; and third, 12 Step recovery
discourses and practices are consistent with the notion that the constituted
self is limited, and can be reconstituted or changed through practice of the
12 Step recovery program. Together, these three key features show us that
12 Step fellowships provide a valuable social resource for people with limited
capacities for self-regulation to help themselves and each other.
Chapter Six considers the implications of this more positive view of 12 Step
fellowships in terms of the primary and secondary aims of this thesis.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores how young people conceptualise addiction to smoking and, also the relationship between young people's addiction beliefs and intentions to smoke cigarettes. Addiction to smoking is a major health problem, not just for adults, but also for young smokers, up to 60% of whom are dependent on nicotine. However, anti-smoking prevention efforts targeted at young people generally emphasise ill-health effects and little attention is paid to addiction education which is generally considered relevant only to adult smoking and cessation efforts. Perhaps as a consequence, young people appear to have many misconceptions and unrealistic ideas about addiction, and these may possibly have influenced initial decisions to take up smoking. For example, between 50% and 60% of young smokers believe that it would be easy or very easy to stop smoking altogether if and when they choose to and the majority of daily smokers mistakenly believe that they will not be smoking for more than five years. For these young smokers, becoming addicted is often an unforeseen consequence and most are surprised to find that they cannot give up smoking as easily as they thought. The majority of addicted smokers regret ever taking up smoking but nevertheless continue to smoke cigarettes for perhaps 30 to 40 years because they find it very difficult to stop. This backdrop provides the impetus for the present study.

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif de ce travail de thèse était d’approfondir la compréhension des liens entre le vécu émotionnel et la prise alimentaire, au travers des deux construits que sont l’alimentation émotionnelle (AE) et l’addiction à l’alimentation (AA). En premier lieu, ce travail a permis de lever un verrou méthodologique relatif à la mesure de l’AE, en réalisant la validation de la version française d’un instrument d’évaluation exhaustif (Emotional Appetite Questionnaire), prenant en compte la variabilité interindividuelle et inter-émotions spécifique à l’AE. La suite de nos travaux, réalisés en population étudiante, ont permis 1) de caractériser différents profils de mangeurs émotionnels; 2) de démontrer que l’AE et l’AA jouent un rôle médiateur entre l’affectivité négative et le surpoids ou l’obésité; 3) de mettre en évidence que le recours à l’AE est un rouage clé dans l’apparition de symptômes cliniques d’AA. La dernière partie de ce travail était consacrée à l’étude de l’impact de l’AE et de l’AA en population clinique, chez des patients souffrant de maladies cardiovasculaires. Les résultats préliminaires de nos travaux mettent en évidence la complexité des liens entre la détresse émotionnelle, les perturbations de la prise alimentaire et la qualité de l’alimentation chez ces patients. Finalement, ce travail de thèse apporte un éclairage sur l’intrication complexe entre les émotions et l’alimentation ainsi qu'une meilleure identification des facteurs pouvant influencer ces liens. De telles connaissances sont cruciales afin d’améliorer les politiques de prévention et favoriser le développement de prises en charge plus ciblées et efficacesThe objective of this thesis was to deepen the understanding of the links between emotional experience and food intake, by examining the role of two mechanisms: emotional eating (EE) and food addiction (FA). First, this work allowed to overcome a methodological barrier regarding the measurement of EE by validating the French version of the Emotional Appetite Questionnaire. This instrument provides an exhaustive assessment of EE, taking into account the inter-individual and inter-emotional variability specific to this concept. Second, our work, which was carried out in large sample of college students, allowed 1) to characterize different profiles of emotional eaters; 2) to demonstrate that EE and FA mediate the association between negative affectivity and excessive weight or obesity; 3) to demonstrate that EE is a key factor in the severity of clinical symptoms of FA. The last part of this work was devoted to studying the impact of EE and FA in a clinical population of patients with cardiovascular diseases. The preliminary results of this study highlighted the complexity of the links between emotional distress, disordered eating and the quality of food intake in these patients. In conclusion, this thesis sheds light on the complex interplay between emotions and food intake, and provides a better identification of the factors that can influence these links. Such knowledge is crucial in order to improve prevention policies and foster the development of more targeted and effective interventions

Full textAbstract:
In contemporary culture, socially deviant behavior is increasingly being conceptualized as the result of a disease. This, perhaps, is most salient in regards to addiction. The chronic disease model of alcoholism has its roots in early assumptions that have recently been discredited or at least challenged. For example, it has been found that the majority of alcoholics permanently overcome their addiction, without treatment, and within a few years. This thesis employs an experimental method to examine whether telling individuals with a mild to moderate alcohol addiction that they have a chronic brain disease influences their perceptions of addiction-related agency as well as their feelings of shame and stigma. Participants, recruited online, were randomly assigned to internalize statements promoting (a) a disease model of addiction, (b) a psychosocial model, or (c) a neutral control condition; they then completed several indices of agency in relation to drinking, as well as measures of perceived and internalized stigma and state shame. Participants who internalized the disease model of addiction tended to have weaker perceptions of drinking self-efficacy, whereas internalizing psychosocial model beliefs tended to induce a stronger internal locus of control and weaker entitization of addiction. Both the disease and the psychosocial conditions increased, in equal amounts, both feelings of stigma and shame relative to the control condition. The relationships between various demographic, attitudinal, and trait measures, as well as indices of agency, stigma, and shame, were assessed. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of the benefits and costs of each of these models of addiction.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
This research introduces the concept of “brand addiction” as a new marketing construct. Employing conceptual development, the concept of brand addiction is defined as a psychological state that entails an obsessive relationship between the consumer and a specific brand. To examine the phenomenon of brand addiction, the present research was designed based on a partial sequential mixed methods research in which a qualitative study was followed by a quantitative study. Arguing that research on brand addiction should be built based on an understanding of how consumers experience this phenomenon in reality, the research incorporated a series of four qualitative focus group studies to uncover the possible core features, motives, and consequences of the brand addiction prototype using discursive psychological perspective. Survey data were subsequently used to generate the brand addiction measurement scale and to test the brand addiction theoretical model. Using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, the brand addiction measurement scale employed 14 core elements. In addition to the brand addiction core features, the brand addiction prototype comprises brand trust, ideal, and actual self-image congruence and fashion interest as its antecedents. Furthermore, the brand addiction prototype includes the feeling of guilt, appearance esteem, debt attitude, and life happiness as its consequences. This research concludes with a presentation and discussion of the theoretical and managerial implications. The research findings provide an understanding of and deep insights into the brand addiction phenomenon, thereby adding to the existing body of literature.

Full textAbstract:
Voilà une vingtaine d’années que le concept d’addiction a été élaboré par quelques psychiatres et chercheurs en neurosciences afin de rendre compte, à travers un nouveau regard, des phénomènes de dépendance (en associant drogues illicites, alcool et tabac). Il a ensuite été utilisé pour la première fois en 1999 dans une politique publique en France, à savoir le plan triennal de la Mission Interministérielle de Lutte contre la Drogue et la Toxicomanie (MILDT).Le processus de construction du problème public des addictions constitue ainsi l’objet de cette thèse. Dans quelles mesures la reconfiguration de certains espaces des champs médical et politico-administratif a partie liée à l’institutionnalisation du paradigme addictologique et comment celui-ci a contribué à transformer les drug policies contemporaines ? Le problème public des addictions doit son émergence au succès politique d’un petit groupe d’acteurs qui a su transposer un concept médical dans le langage de l’action publique. Dans le prolongement des politiques de réduction des risques, les addictions bousculent le mode de régulation des usages de drogues, en favorisant leur sanitarisation plutôt que leur pénalisation. Par le biais d’une sociologie historique et politique de l’action publique, cette thèse retrace ainsi la genèse de l’addictologie et des drug policies françaises jusqu’au plan triennal de la MILDT de 1999It has been about twenty years that the addiction concept has been elaborated by some psychiatrists and neuroscientists in order to define dependence phenomena in a new way (by associating illicit drugs with alcohol and tobacco). Then it has been used for the first time in 1999 in a public policy in France, i.e. the three-year plan of the Mission Interministérielle de Lutte contre la Drogue et la Toxicomanie (MILDT).The construction process of the “addiction” public problem constitutes this thesis subject. In which way the reconfiguration of some spaces of the medical and political fields is connected to the institutionalization of the addictological paradigm and how this one has led to transform contemporary drug policies? The “addiction” public problem emerged thanks to the political success of a small group of actors who transposed a medical concept into the language of public policy. In the continuation of harm reduction policies, addictions reshape the regulation model of drug use by promoting their sanitarization rather than their criminalization. Through a political and historical sociology of public policy, this thesis thus traces the genesis of French addictology and drug policies until the MILDT’s three-year plan of 1999

L'objet de cette these est de proposer un modele explicatif de la dependance a l'heroine ou\et a la cocaine chez les personnalites limites dans une perspective psychopathologique d'orientation psychanalytique. La reprise et le developpement du fantasme de castration constituent la pierre angulaire de cette recherche en permettant, d'une part, de donner un eclairage etiopathogenique aux amenagements << nevrose >> de caractere, << psychose >> de caractere et amenagements pervers rencontres dans ce type de problematique, d'autre part en favorisant le depassement de la notion observationnelle de comorbidite par le concept explicatif de personnalite limite addictive. A partir d'une population (n = 50) de sujets personnalites limites dependants a une substance (heroine et\ou cocaine) nous avons tente de demontrer que le fantasme de castration se divise en deux stades : le fantasme de castration de l'organe reel et le fantasme de castration symbolique. Les personnalites limites addictives sont restes fixees au premier stade du fantasme de castration et a un dipe intermediaire (limite) avec la reconnaissance de la difference des sexes sur le mode masculin\chatre, avec le sentiment de menace permanente de perte de l'integrite corporelle et de l'effondrement narcissique. Cette fixation au point de separation entre nevrose et psychose genere un ensemble de troubles psychopathologiques en relation avec des angoisses du debut du stade phallique infiltrees par des angoisses pre-oedipiennes. Les tentatives auto-therapeutiques de l'addiction chez le borderline montrent qu'il presente une organisation psychopathologique stable avec un fonctionnement psychique instable, autrement dit qu'il existe pour ces personnalites une organisation singuliere ayant une coherence interne. Des outils descriptifs (observations, entretien de diagnostic, echelle du fonctionnement defensif, dsm-iv, criteres des amenagements selon bergeret) ont ete utilises pour la partie empirique et les hypotheses inductives.

Os resultados mostram que existe uma relação significativa entre vinculação e auto-conceito. Estas variáveis não apresentam correlação com o número de dias do tratamento nas comunidades terapêuticas, mas a correlação entre as mesmas torna-se mais forte com mais tempo de tratamento.ABSTRACT: Problem: Drug abusers often have insecure attachments and a low self-concept which can be seen as a risk factor in the genesis and relapse of addiction. Goal: This study wants to understand the relationship between attachment and self-concept and their evolution during treatment of drug-addicts. Method: Correlational cross study, that used a 65 people sample, gathered in 3 different therapeutic communities ( one in the South margin of Tagus river, another in Lisbon and another in Lisbon surroundings). It was applied the Adult Attachment Scale, by Canavarro, M C., Dias, P., Lima, V., 2006, and the Clinical Inventory of Self-Concept, by Serra, A. V., 1985.

A Study of Internet Addiction and Self-Concept on Elementary School Students Abstract The purposes of this study are to understand the present situation of elementary school students'' Internet behavior, Internet addiction and self-concept, and to analyze the correlations among these three above-mentioned variables. The study is carried out through literature reviews, case surveys and interviews. The subjects are the 5th and 6th grade students at elementary schools in Kaohsiung City. By cluster sampling, the researcher sends out 1112 copies of questionnaire, and receives 1052 valid copies. The collected data are analyzed in the form of descriptive statistics, t-test, one–way ANOVA, and Pearson''s product-moment correlation. The top 5% of the Internet addition scores of the samples are interviewed in groups. The major findings of this study are as follows: 1. Family is the major factor that affects elementary school students'' Internet behavior and Internet addiction. 2. Virtual interactive Internet activity may easily lead to Internet addiction. 3. In different aspects, elementary school students'' self-conception varies in results. 4. Students who spend most of time surfing or e-mailing have better self-concept performance than the others. 5. The more obvious the tendency toward Internet addiction is, the higher mental ego the self-concept shows. 6. The more obvious the tendency toward Internet addiction is, the lower ability-ego and physical ego the self-concept shows. According to these results, some suggestions are presented to educational institutions, educators, counselors and parents. It is expected that understanding the relations between Internet addiction and self-concept of elementary school students, can facilitate to shape appropriate attitude toward Internet, to develop students'' self-concept, and to improve students'' adaptation to their lives.

With the continuous deepening of the database and various information systems, a large amount of data accumulated and increased every year. Nowadays, many kinds of data have published on the government information open platform, and peopole can use and research these data. Data mining is a research method, which integrates many areaes including database, machine learning, statistics, artificial intelligence and so on. Data mining can use the information and pattern hided within the data to the applications of classification, prediction, clustering and association. The study proposes a Classification method based on Formal Concept Analysis (CFCA), and applies this method to classify survey data of internet and smartphone. In order to evaluate CFCA, the correct rate of classification is used, and it compared with other methods such as J48, CVR and NB. The result of experiments shows: the correct rate of classification by CFCA is between 77.27% and 97.52% for survey data of internet addiction, and is between 93.94% and 95.89% for survey data of smartphone addiction. The correct rate of classification by the other methods is between 73.35% and 97.11% for survey data of internet addiction, and is between 84.20% and 95.89% for survey data of smartphone addiction. Compared with the other methods by experiments and datasets, CVR is ranked first, CFCA is ranked second, J48 and NB are ranked third or fourth. Despite CFCA is second, CFCA is better than CVR in the experiment of simplified attribute values.

This research intends to research into the correlation between online game addiction tendency and psychological needs, self-concept and peer connections for the teenagers. Not only did we investigate the present status of junior high school students using network and playing online games, we also examined four hypotheses: significant positive correlation between the online psychological needs scale of junior high school students and the online game addiction, negative correlation between the scores got from self-concepts scale of junior high school students and online game addiction tendency, significant negative correlation between the peer relationships of junior high school students and online game addiction, and the online game addiction tendency predictability through the mentioned three factors. Therefore, this research focuses on 7th~9th grade students from three junior high schools of Taipei City and New Taipei City, 9 classes in total, to get statistics of basic data, conduct test through scale of online game addiction tendency, online psychological needs scale for junior high school students, scale of self-concept, scale of peer relationships and other questionnaires. We also investigated the network using status of 281 effective samples in forms of crude code, percentage, chi-square statistics, including online game playing status of 215 junior high school students. The four hypotheses are examined one by one through the methods of Pearson Correlation and Step-wise Regression Analysis. The results are as follows: I. Online game is very popular among junior high school students, and about 76% of them play online games. Wherein, male students spend 5 hours or more online, 4 hours or more of which they play online games. Students who play four types or more online games gets significant tendency to become online game addicts. II. Positive correlation is significant between the online game addiction tendency and the overall and various online psychological needs of junior high school students.

Full textAbstract:
Die Forschungsarbeit „Ich sehe nur, wie sich die Menschen plagen“: Gesundheitsvorstellungen, -risiken und -verhalten von Berufspolitikern – Eine empirische Analyse befasst sich aus medizinsoziologischer Perspektive mit potentiellen Gesundheitsvorstellungen, -risiken sowie gesundheitsförderlichen bzw. -riskanten Verhaltensweisen deutscher Berufspolitiker. Der Einfluss gesundheitsrelevanter persönlicher Erfahrungen auf gesundheitspolitische Entscheidungen auf Bundesebene stellt einen ergänzenden Fokus dar. Grundlage der Forschungsarbeit ist die subjektiv zunehmende krankheits- und krisenbedingte (medial vermittelte) Belastung der Mandatsträger in der Öffentlichkeit. Die Arbeit stützt sich u.a. auf die Modelle der Salutogenese nach Antonovsky, der Gratifikationskrise nach Siegrist, auf das Anforderungs-Kontroll-Modell nach Karasek sowie die kognitiv-transaktionale Stresstheorie nach Lazarus. Weitere Basis ist das biopsychosoziale Krankheitsmodell.
Das empirische Vorgehen der qualitativ angelegten Studie wurde an die Grounded Theory angelehnt. Eine teilnehmende Beobachtung, die Durchführung und Auswertung von 21 Interviews samt sich anschließender Typenbildung wurde angestrebt und vollzogen. Das Interviewsample setzte sich aus Berufspolitikern aller in der 17. Wahlperiode des deutschen Bundestages vertretenen Parteien (CDU/CSU, SPD, FDP, Bündnis 90/die Grünen, Die Linke) zusammen.
In der Ergebnisdarstellung werden besonderer Wert auf die individuellen Gesundheitsvorstellungen der einzelnen Politiker gelegt, zudem gesundheitsförderliche Verhaltensweisen eruiert. So scheint Gesundheit durch persönliche Prioritätensetzung und zurückliegende Erfahrungen geprägt. Es können hierzu 14 Themenbereiche und drei zentrale Phänomene ermittelt werden. Krankheitsbilder und Krisenerfahrungen des Interviewsamples werden samt ihrer Einbettung in den sozialen Kontext dargestellt. So werden offensichtliche und allgemeingehaltene Krankheitsbilder durch die Mandatsträger oft am eigenen Beispiel geschildert, lebensbedrohliche im Gegenzug fast ausnahmslos an Kollegen illustriert. Deutlich werden krisen- und krankheitsbedingte Auswirkungen auf politische Akzente. Es können
sechs klar voneinander abgrenzbare Typen der Berufspolitiker bezüglich ihres Gesundheitsverhaltens im beruflichen Alltag eruiert werden (Extrempole: Das Opfer vs. Der Abgesicherte). Weiterhin werden besondere Risikofaktoren des arbeitsreichen Mandats illustriert, im Gegenzug Optimierungsmöglichkeiten aufgezeigt. Es zeigt sich ein berufsbedingtes Ungleichgewicht zwischen Risiko- und Schutzfaktoren zulasten der Ressourcen. Hier sind Ansätze zur (Verhaltens-/Verhältnis)Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung zu finden. Der Link zwischen Gesundheitspolitik im Allgemeinen sowie Gesundheitsverhalten im Speziellen wird geschaffen. Abschließend erfolgt eine Kategorisierung der zentralen Themen der Studie. Hierbei werden der Grounded Theory und dem offenen, axialen und selektiven Kodieren folgend Kategorien, Subkategorien sowie eine Kernkategorie ermittelt. Es zeigt sich eine Schwerpunktverlagerung bezüglich In- und Output der Leitfadenthemen (Stigmatisierbarkeit, Tabuisierung). Abschließend werden weiterführende Forschungsperspektiven aufgezeigt.

This diploma thesis deals with the role of exusers (former habit-forming substances abusers) in the treatment of addicted clients and in the management processes utilised within the communities of the Betel organisation.

The third chapter focuses on the history of community lifestyle with an emphasis on the self-help therapeutic impact. In the forth chapter there is a description of the specifics of the management processes utilised in both the therapeutic and...
