Abstract:
The article discusses the context of a topic currently very much under discussion in Switzerland. It provides reflections on the concept of "addiction"--better replaced by "dependence syndrome"--and summarizes the few research results concerning the Swiss situation. Due to the lack of basic epidemiological data the prevalence of "dependence-related" problems at the work place and the actual consequences and costs of substance abuse can only be estimated. In a society with rapidly changing working conditions and requirements the common stereotypes of "alcohol-prone" occupations need a critical revision. Theoretical hypotheses are most advanced in the area of substance abuse in relationship to work-related stress coping.
