Description
Summary:Various conceptual models of addiction are identified, & a biopsychosocial interactive approach is presented, noting that addictive processes tend to proceed in developmental stages; etiological factors associated with behavior at different stages are described. Current research literature (from 1980) on etiology & treatment is reviewed from this developmental framework, focusing on: factors associated with genetic risk for addiction & adolescent drug use initiation, clinical efforts at primary & secondary prevention, the transition to addictive use, personality, drug effects, tolerance & dependence, expectancy factors, typologies of addictive problems, & change processes, with attention to initiation of change processes, self-change, treatment-outcome research, evaluation methodology, patient-treatment matching, & maintenance processes. 55 References.
