Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena01:15

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

970
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

43.3K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychiatry
  • Addiction Medicine
  • Criminal Law

Background:

  • 14% to 30% of individuals with gambling disorder engage in illegal activities to fund their addiction.
  • Factors contributing to these illegal acts include gambling severity, co-occurring substance use disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and financial difficulties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the criminal responsibility of individuals with problematic gambling behaviors.
  • To analyze how different clinical presentations of gambling disorder impact legal accountability.

Main Methods:

  • Case-based discussion of typical scenarios faced by medical experts in criminal responsibility assessments.
  • Analysis of isolated problematic gambling, and gambling disorder comorbid with antisocial personality disorder, manic episodes, substance use disorders, and dopamine agonist treatment.

Main Results:

  • Isolated gambling disorder may lead to criminal responsibility, though severe cases might warrant sentence attenuation.
  • Comorbid conditions like antisocial personality disorder or substance-induced psychotic episodes can influence or negate criminal responsibility.
  • Dopamine agonist treatment-induced gambling and associated illegal acts present a complex, debated area for criminal responsibility.

Conclusions:

  • Clinical dimensions such as craving intensity, compulsivity, disorder severity, and volitional control are crucial forensic targets.
  • These factors aid in assessing the criminal responsibility of individuals with gambling disorder.
