Abstract

CASTANO-PENUELA, Angela María  and  GONCALVES, Marlene Fagundes Carvalho. Contributions of psychoanalytic theory to understanding drug addiction. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) [online]. 2014, vol.10, n.3, pp. 126-134. ISSN 1806-6976.  http://dx.doi.org/10.11606/issn.1806-6976.v10i3p126-134.

This is a theoretical discussion of qualitative research, based on an analysis of the theoretical output produced in certain proposals for interventions into drug addiction, analyzing certain categories that have been formulated based on psychoanalytical theory. The aim is to introduce contributions based on psychoanalysis that enable the approaches that have been made to the phenomenon to be questioned and to establish a novel intervention attempt at intervention for drug addiction. The study is committed to reinstating the subject into the field of the intervention, currently centered on the object, drugs. This commitment to the subject enables us to reflect on the proposal of the desire that drives addiction and enables us to think about the ways it can be satisfied.

Keywords : Substance-Related Disorders; Psychoanalysis; Unconscious (Psychology).
