Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena01:15

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

489
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...

Drug Dependence

1.0K
Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

174
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

90
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Schemata01:17

Schemata

94
A schema is a mental construct that organizes related concepts, allowing the brain to process information efficiently. Upon activation, schemata facilitate assumptions about people or objects.

Neurochemical Transmission: Sites of Drug Action

2.4K
Neurochemical transmission, the conduction of electrical impulses between neurons mediated by neurotransmitters, plays a vital role in various physiological processes. Autonomic drugs exert their effects by modulating neurotransmission within the autonomic nervous system. For instance, drugs such as hemicholinium block the precursor uptake necessary for synthesizing acetylcholine, an essential autonomic neurotransmitter. Following synthesis, neurotransmitters are stored in vesicles. Metyrosine...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychotherapy
  • Addiction Science

Background:

  • Automaticity is a key feature of substance use disorder (SUD).
  • Schema Therapy, a psychotherapy for SUDs, has not explicitly defined the role of automaticity.
  • Understanding automaticity's role is crucial for SUD treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of automaticity in schema modes within Schema Therapy for SUDs.
  • To clarify the function of automaticity across different phases of Schema Therapy.
  • To enhance comprehension of Schema Therapy mechanisms and SUD automaticity.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis linking automaticity characteristics to schema modes.
  • Examination of automaticity's four facets (unconscious, uncontrollable, efficient, fast) in schema modes.
  • Case study of alcohol use disorder and narcissistic personality disorder treated with Schema Therapy.

Main Results:

  • Automatic substance use is proposed as a coping strategy for schemas, stemming from schema mode activity.
  • The four characteristics of automaticity were translated and applied to schema modes.
  • A case study illustrated the application of these concepts in clinical practice.

Conclusions:

  • Automaticity in SUDs can be understood as a consequence of schema mode activity.
  • This framework offers a novel perspective on both automaticity in SUDs and Schema Therapy mechanisms.
  • Findings have implications for SUD theory, clinical practice, and future research directions.
