Book excerpt: En la actualidad el mundo de las drogas y su problemática está presente en nuestra sociedad. Las encuestas y los medios de comunicación se hacen eco de ellas con mucha frecuencia. Se escuchan y leen noticias sobre el tráfico y consumo de drogas, de detenciones y redadas, sobre apresamiento de barcos que portan alijos de droga, de muertes por sobredosis y de personajes conocidos relacionados de un modo u otro con sustancias tóxicas, además de un extenso etcétera sobre el tema en cuestión. Hemos visto imágenes y leído reportajes sobre la adicción de Keith Urban, marido de Nicole Kitdman, o las declaraciones de Kate Moss según las cuales indicaba ser consumidora de drogas. También se han hecho películas como Traffic con Leonardo Di Caprio, que relatan el mundo de las drogas. El mundo de las drogas está presente en nuestras vidas y aparece de continuo en las novelas de actualidad. Jacob es uno de los personajes de la novela La noche del oráculo, de Paul Auster. Se trata de un muchacho, hijo de un escritor divorciado, adicto a las drogas que acabará con dos tiros en la cabeza. Aquella otra novela Amor, prozac, curiosidades y dudas, de Lucía Etxebarría relata la vida de tres hermanas, dos solteras (Rosa y Cristina) y una casada (rosa). Apenas comienza el relato se hace referencia a la combinación tópica de noche, sexo y drogas: «De la vida se puede hablar de mil millones de maneras diferentes, pero para mí ya sólo hay dos formas de vivirla: con drogas o sin ellas, o lo que es lo mismos, a pelo o anestesiada. Drogas, drogas, drogas. El éxtasis es el pan nuestro de cada día y ya no sabemos vivir sin él». Tal es así que en cierta ocasión les cogerá la policía a Gema, Line y Cristina, pasando unas horas en la celda: «¿Qué coño hago yo aquí? No hablo solamente de esta celda sin rejas, hablo de esta vida sin asideros, sin razones no coartadas, sin pretextos ni evasivas, ni objetivos ni intenciones, ni ideales». En la actualidad es un producto de consumo estrechamente relacionado con el estilo de vida que llevamos, y en el que las metas se quieren conseguir tan rápidamente como queremos lograr el disfrute o el placer. La Consideración de la droga como problema social va variando con el paso de los años. Baste recodar que el último chequeo a la juventud publicado por la Fundación Santamaría en 2006, situaba a la droga como el segundo problema más importante para el país. «Las drogas son como las muertes en la carretera los fines de semana. Algo normal, banal, habitual». Aunque las drogas se han llegado a consumir siempre, nunca como ahora han llegado a ser un producto de consumo más que presenta sus variedades: cocaína, cristal, GHB o éxtasis líquido, heroína, cannabis, ketamina, anfetaminas, speed, LSD y setas alucinógenas, además del alcohol y el tabaco. Variedades de drogas alimentadas por los valores actuales que constituyen a su vez el caldo de cultivo de las drogas. Es lo que explica el primer tema sobre «Contextualización de las drogas en España». El segundo tema que versa sobre la prevención en drogodependencias, plantea la prevención como objetivo prioritario en el abordaje de las drogodependencias. Por disponer ya de experiencia en programas de prevención se ha favorecido que se destinen mayores recursos a la prevención. Recursos que atienden la investigación, la diversidad de programas, modalidades, estrategias preventivas y niveles de intervención en prevención. La Respuesta asistencial ante las drogodependencias, es el tercer capítulo que pone de manifiesto la necesidad de generar una serie de respuestas de tipo asistencial ante las dependencias. Éstas se han convertido en un fenómeno que preocupa a la sociedad, debido a los graves efectos asociados al consumo de drogas: vinculación de los drogodependientes a hechos delictivos, desarraigo familiar, asociación del consumo de drogas con determinadas enfermedades infecto-contagiosas, etc. El cuarto capítulo sobre la Reinserción social de las personas drogodependientes detalla los pormenores de la exclusión e integración social, definiendo después lo que constituye la integración sociolaboral de las personas en tratamiento de por drogas. Se analiza la metodología a seguir, como es el caso de los itinerarios personalizados de integración sociolaboral, y se realizan unas reflexiones sobre los profesionales que intervienen, así como del papel del trabajador social en la inserción laboral de las personas drogodependientes. El quinto capítulo hace mención de las estrategias de intervención (educativa, preventiva), así como de aquellos colectivos sobre los que intervienen los profesionales. El texto que presentamos relaciona estrechamente las drogodependencias con el trabajo social. Trabajo social en el sexto capítulo; capítulo que tiene por objeto estudiar y abordar los factores sociales que pueden propiciar la aparición de conductas adictivas, contribuir a su mantenimiento y favorecer su abandono. También apunta a reducir los factores de riesgo del contexto social e incrementando los recursos del sujeto de naturaleza interactiva y psicosocial mediante un proceso de acompañamiento social. El capítulo séptimo presenta la red de atención a los drogodependientes en España, incluida la legislación básica y autonómica en materia de drogas. El capítulo octavo sobre Drogodependencias en el medio penitenciario se aborda la estrecha relación que existe entre los medios penitenciarios y las drogodependencias: entre las personas que ingresan en prisión la drogodependencia es uno de los problemas más importantes, y por eso mismo se desarrollan programas de reeducación y reinserción en los Centros Penitenciarios. Centros en los que se consumen drogas porque no se trata de burbujas herméticas y aisladas del exterior, sino que son un fiel reflejo de lo peor de nuestra sociedad; y centros a los que se llega cuando el resto de instituciones como la familia, la escuela, y el conjunto de la sociedad, ya han fracasado. La Intervención en drogodependencias en el ámbito jurídico es el capítulo noveno, y analiza una de las vertientes importantes del problema de las drogas: cuando los drogodependientes empiezan a realizar conductas delictivas bajo los efectos de la droga o con el síndrome de abstinencia. Con el paso de los años, han ido apareciendo una serie de respuestas, que sin eliminar el carácter sancionador de la pena, éstas también se han ido enfocando desde la perspectiva del tratamiento como alternativa a la prisión para aquellos drogodependientes inmersos en procedimientos penales por su adicción a las drogas. El último capítulo, el capítulo diez, hace un breve repaso de aquellas medidas que se han ido tomando para luchar contra la droga en España y en Europa, así como de los medios de comunicación y el consumo de drogas. Lo que parece adivinarse es una clara diferenciación entre la lucha contra el consumo y la lucha contra el tráfico de las drogas. Finalmente nuestro agradecimiento a todas aquellas personas que han colaborado en este texto: en primer lugar a los autores de los capítulos; en segundo lugar a Manuel Molina, Gerente de la Agencia Antidroga de la Comunidad de Madrid, y a Pilar Menéndez, Verónica Aguilar y Beatriz Díaz, trabajadoras sociales de la citada Agencia; por último, al equipo de Trabajo Social de la UNED: Tomás Fernández García, Juan de Dios Izquierdo, Francisco Javier García, Ángeles Martínez, Laura Ponce, Luis Martínez, María Antonia de Frutos, Rafael de Lorenzo, Alfredo Hidalgo y María Fadrique.

This book was released on 2002-03-04 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Publisher-supplied data) This book represents the first systematic discussion of the Gateway Hypothesis, a developmental hypothesis formulated to model how adolescents initiate and progress in the use of various drugs. In the United States, this progression proceeds from the use of tobacco or alcohol to the use of marijuana and other illicit drugs. This volume presents a critical overview of what is currently known about the Gateway Hypothesis. The authors of the chapters explore the hypothesis from various perspectives ranging from developmental social psychology to prevention and intervention science, animal models, neurobiology and analytical methodology. This volume is original and unique in its purview, covering a broad view of the Gateway Hypothesis. The juxtaposition of epidemiological, intervention, animal and neurobiological studies represents a new stage in the evolution of drug research, in which epidemiology and biology inform one another in the understanding of drug abuse.

Download or read book Guide to Psychological Assessment with Hispanics written by Lorraine T. Benuto and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-19 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on diversity, culture, and ethnicity as they relate to psychological assessment of Hispanics. It is a how-to guide for clinicians, researchers, and instructors working with Hispanic clients. Each chapter contains an overview of cultural considerations needed for assessing the Hispanic client followed by a specific exploration of the assessment measures available and the research that has been conducted on these measures with Hispanic participants. An exploration of the strengths and limitations of each assessment measure is included. Considering that ethnocultural minority individuals who are of Hispanic/Latino origin make up the largest ethnocultural minority group in the United States, guidelines for working with this population are a must. Given that a large subset of this percentage is composed of immigrants many of whom do not speak English or who have learned English as a second language, special considerations for effective psychological assessment are neccessary.This book fills a gap in the scientific literature by consolidating the research on psychological assessment with Hispanic samples into one comprehensive volume and providing simple recommendations for the psychological assessment of Hispanic clients. An exploration of the general psychological assessment domains (e.g., personality, intelligence) is included with references to research on the major assessment measures used in the field. A more specific exploration of psychodiagnostic assessment measures follows, including the assessment of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, sexual dysfunction, psychosis, etc. Several chapters are dedicated to specialized assessment, including neuropsychological assessment, forensic assessment, and school-based assessment, overall creating the most comprehensive, up-to-date, research-based compendium of psychological assessment measures for use with Hispanic clients.

Download or read book Drug Policy and the Public Good written by Thomas Babor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illegal psychoactive substances and illicit prescription drugs are currently used on a daily basis all over the world. Affecting public health and social welfare, illicit drug use is linked to disease, disability, and social problems. Faced with an increase in usage, national and global policymakers are turning to addiction science for guidance on how to create evidence-based drug policy. Drug Policy and the Public Good is an objective analytical basis on which to build global drug policies. It presents the accumulated scientific knowledge on drug use in relation to policy development on a national and international level. By also revealing new epidemiological data on the global dimensions of drug misuse, it questions existing regulations and highlights the growing need for evidence-based, realistic, and coordinated drug policy. A critical review of cumulative scientific evidence, Drug Policy and the Public Good discusses four areas of drug policy; primary prevention programs in schools and other settings; supply reduction programs, including legal enforcement and drug interdiction; treatment interventions and harm reduction approaches; and control of the legal market through prescription drug regimes. In addition, it analyses the current state of global drug policy, and advocates improvements in the drafting of public health policy. Drug Policy and the Public Good is a global source of information and inspiration for policymakers involved in public health and social welfare. Presenting new research on illicit and prescription drug use, it is also an essential tool for academics, and a significant contribution to the translation of addiction research into effective drug policy.

Download or read book Choice Behavioral Economics and Addiction written by Rudolph Eugene Vuchinich and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-11-13 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choice, Behavioural Economics and Addiction is about the theory, data, and applied implications of choice-based models of substance use and addiction. The distinction between substance use and addiction is important, because many individuals use substances but are not also addicted to them. The behavioural economic perspective has made contributions to the analysis of both of these phenomena and, while the major focus of the book is on theories of addiction, it is necessary also to consider the behavioural economic account of substance use in order to place the theories in their proper context and provide full coverage of the contribution of behavioural economics to this field of study. The book discusses the four major theories of addiction that have been developed in the area of economic science/behavioural economics. They are: . hyperbolic discounting . melioration . relative addiction . rational addiction The main objective of the book is to popularise these ideas among addiction researchers, academics and practitioners. The specific aims are to articulate the shared and distinctive elements of these four theories, to present and discuss the latest empirical work on substance abuse and addiction that is being conducted in this area, and to articulate a range of applied implications of this body of work for clinical, public health and public policy initiatives. The book is based on an invitation-only conference entitled, Choice, Behavioural Economics and Addiction: Theory, Evidence and Applications held at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, March 30 - April 1, 2001. The conference was attended by prominent scientists and scholars, representing a range of disciplines concerned with theories of addiction and their consequences for policy and practice. The papers in the book are based on the papers given at the above conference, together with commentaries by distinguished experts and, in many cases, replies to these comments by the presenters.

Download or read book Transport Environment and Health written by World Health Organization. Regional Office for Europe and published by WHO Regional Office Europe. This book was released on 2000 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the scientific evidence on the main effects of transport on human health and the environment. It sets the conceptual framework for future analyses of the health burden and health gains from transport policies. It outlines how these health concerns have been reflected in policy tools such as impact assessment, regulation and economic analysis, and identifies the areas where action is most needed. Discussions of the environment and health effects of transport need to be communicated in a way that is relevant for policy-makers and easily understood by nonscientists. That is the aim of this book, which summarizes the results of extensive reviews of the issues prepared by groups of prominent international experts. It is also planned to release the reviews themselves, to give a more detailed account of the scientific evidence. [Foreword]

Download or read book Illegal Leisure Revisited written by Judith Aldridge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book updates the progress into adulthood of the cohort of fourteen-year-olds who were recruited and tracked until they were eighteen years old. Illegal Leisure (1998) described their adolescent journeys and lifestyles, focusing on their early regular drinking and extensive ‘recreational’ drug use. This new edition revisits these original chapters, providing commentaries around them to discuss current implications of the original publication, plus documenting and discussing the group at twenty-two and twenty-seven years of age. Illegal Leisure Revisited positions the journeys of these twenty-somethings against the ever-changing backdrop of a consumption-oriented leisure society, the rapid expansion of the British night-time economy and the place of substance use in contemporary social worlds. It presents to the reader the ways in which these young people have moved into the world of work, long-term relationships and parenthood, and the resulting changes in the function and frequency of their drinking and drug-use patterns. Amid dire public health warnings about their favourite intoxicants, and with the growing criminalisation of a widening array of recreational drugs, the book revisits these young people as they continue as archetypal citizens in a risk society. The book is ideal reading for researchers and undergraduate students from a variety of fields, such as developmental and social psychology, sociology, criminology, cultural and health studies. Professionals working in criminal justice, health promotion, drugs education, harm reduction and treatment will also find this book an invaluable resource.
