Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Adolescent Health

Background:

  • Separation anxiety, hostility, and loneliness are psychologically intertwined.
  • Psychoanalytic theories from Fromm-Reichmann, Fromm, and Erikson provide a framework.
  • Freud's concept of the "oceanic feeling" is explored in relation to these emotions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize key psychoanalytic theories regarding separation anxiety, hostility, and loneliness.
  • To examine the connection between these emotions and adolescent drinking disorders.
  • To analyze the role of early childhood separation trauma in adolescent alcoholism.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual synthesis of psychoanalytic literature.
  • Theoretical analysis linking psychological constructs to behavioral outcomes.
  • Empirical observations of adolescent alcoholism characteristics.

Main Results:

  • A strong intrinsic relationship exists between separation anxiety, hostility, and loneliness.
  • These emotions, when viewed through a psychoanalytic lens, are significant determinants of adolescent drinking disorders.
  • Early separation experiences are re-activated during adolescence, contributing to alcohol abuse.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescent drinking disorders are deeply rooted in unresolved early separation issues and associated emotional distress.
  • Understanding the psychological underpinnings of separation anxiety is crucial for addressing adolescent alcoholism.
  • Further empirical research is needed to fully elucidate the features of adolescent alcoholism.
