RIBEIRO, Cynara Teixeira. User or drug addicts?: A psychoanalytic study of two possible forms of relationship with the drugs in the contemporariness. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.2, pp. 633-647. ISSN 1808-4281.

This paper addresses the use and abuse of drugs through psychoanalysis, with emphasis on reference of Freud and Lacan. This choice is justified because, despite the use of drugs is universal, how each fellow makes use of them is unique, which explains some become addicted. Thus, the configuration of a drug refers to aspects of subjectivity and psychic constitution of each. In this sense, the objective is, from the analysis of the interviews of two fellows who narrated their experiences of use of drugs, understand the differences between users and addicts. The results point to the importance of the concepts of pleasure, narcissism, identification and social ties in the configuration of one or another form of drug use.
