“…Such individuals often have histories of psychopathology and social deviance long before commencing drug use, which render them more likely to engage in both criminal activities and drug abuse (cf. Goodwin, Crane, & Guze, 1971). Charen and Perelman contend that individuals suffering from various behavioral disorders may simply be more prone to chronic use of drugs such as marijuana as a means of coping with inferiority feelings and their sense of resentment (cf.…”

This review critically examines the evidence dealing with the alleged relationship between cannabis and violence and considers some of the variables that enter into such an assessment. The consensus is that marijuana does not precipitate violence in the majority of those using it sporadically or chronically. However, there are certain individuals, such as those suffering from temporal lobe dysrhythmia, and certain situations of set and setting, in which marijuana may result in violence.

“…Sociopathy has usually been thought by clinicians to be a poor prognostic factor in alcoholism treatment. However, the few studies which have examined this are either inconclusive or show no worse outcome for sociopathy (Goodwin et al, 1971;Chick, 1982). Project MATCH (1997) found that, in 952 intensively followed out-patient alcoholics, sociopathy predicted poorer outcome in the first few months after treatment, but not by the end of 15 months.…”

The published literature tends to find that the outcome of mandatory treatment for alcohol dependence is no worse than that for 'voluntary' treatment. Supervised disulfiram has been shown to improve outcome in Court-referred patients. When offenders take treatment offered as part of probation or a deferred sentence, they choose to do so, rather than face a penalty. It is not a 'free' choice in the usual sense, but the outcome can be beneficial to the offender as well as to society and this helps to justify its use. Coping and social skills therapy have value, as probably have antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs in some cases. Supervised disulfiram has a role supported by controlled studies.

“…The lifestyle-model approach to drug-seeking behavior also emphasizes the necessity of understanding addiction within its developmental context, and it proposes a four-stage theory of development based on research findings showing that young people are more likely to enter and exit the drug lifestyle (Roizen et al, 1978) and that alcohol (and other drug) consumption patterns tend to decline with age (Goodwin, Crane, & Guze, 1971). The four stages that compose the developmental branch of the lifestyle theory of drug-seeking behavior are discussed below.…”

Drug-seeking behavior: Disease or lifestyle?

Evidence in support of the disease concept of addictive behavior was reviewed, and the model on which this concept is based was found to be lacking in several respects. Among the drawbacks noted were the model's inattention to such issues as personal responsibility, self-efficacy, and autonomy, and its unamenability to empirical evaluation. A lifestyle theory of drug-seeking behavior with emphasis on thinking style and choice was therefore introduced as an alternative to the disease model. Comparative review of these 2 models demonstrated that the lifestyle approach to drug-seeking behavior may be capable of capitalizing on the individual strengths of the disease model while offsetting its many limitations.
