“…Parenting strategies and respective childhood experiences of emotional disturbances have far-reaching effects on personality development among children for the rest of their life. In the field of heroin addiction, studies have confirmed their parents to be colder, more controlling, more rejecting and more indifferent compared with corresponding mean values of parental rearing behaviours for healthy subjects (Baer & Corrardo, 1974;Rounsaville, Weismann, Wilber, & Keller, 1982;Schweitzer & Lawton, 1989). In sum, there is a growing number of research findings that pinpoint parental rearing as one of the most central factors that might generate various dimensions of mental illness.…”

“…She also noted that whether fathers are restrictive or permissive is not a significant factor in drug abuse [6]. Baer and Corrado studying heroin users found that they had an unhappy childhood with harsh physical punishment, lack of parental concern of child's goals or behaviors, and a lack of family cohesiveness [7]. Seldin in a study of addicts found that mothers are percieved as dominant, emotionally immature, conflicted, and ambivalent about her role within the family.…”

The purpose of this paper is to present a brief review of literature concerning the current status of family therapy in the treatment of drug abusing adolescents. The method of approach was to survey and summarize findings and statements found in the literature. The paper includes six topical areas: Why Treat the Family, Family Life of the Abuser, Approaches to Treatment, The Treatment Process, Treatment Goals, and The Treatment Program. A brief concluding statement is included expressing the need for a systematic approach to therapy. Drug abuse is currently destroying the lives of many of America's youth. Several different treatment facilities for abusers have been established, few with an acceptable level of success. The present author will review one integral part of many programs; treatment of the abuser's family.

SummaryThe aim of this paper is to give a brief overview of research and the newest theoretical considerations on internet addiction classification and treatment. Over the past years we have been increasingly facing the so-called "new age" disease of internet addiction as a serious problem affecting numerous people, especially the young population who has made social networks and other internet contents a modus vivendi. A literature search was conducted for the purpose of locating information on prevalence, diagnosis and treatment of internet and computer addiction. Certain researchers and psychiatrists believe that the excessive internet use is a symptom of other disorders, such as depression and anxiety, or impulse control disorder. However, over the past few years a consensus has been reached that this constellation of symptoms is actually an addiction disorder. The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) has recently come up with a new definition, according to which addiction represents a chronic brain disorder. Consequently, the new American Classification of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) has introduced this form of addiction under the diagnostic category dubbed "cybernetic disorder". The field of internet addiction is advancing rapidly through its official recognition as a separate and distinct addiction disorder. Some individuals with internet addiction are at significant risk and merit professional care and treatment. There are several treatments available, but the primary prevention is the most effective intervention. Family practitioners and psychiatrists should be taught to screen their patients for this disorder.
