“…In the case of the relationship between cannabis use and prosocial behaviours, 10.34% ( n = 3) of the results show that both variables are negatively related, while 3.44% ( n = 1) reflected a positive relationship, and another 3.44% ( n = 1) found no significant differences [ 50 ]. In particular, the results showed that prosocial behaviour during adolescence acts as a protective factor against problematic cannabis consumption in adulthood [ 25 ] and that cannabis users showed less prosocial behaviour in adulthood [ 23 , 30 ].…”

Relationship between Prosocial Behaviours and Addiction Problems: A Systematic Review

et al. 2021

The relationship of addiction problems with other pathologies or with different problematic factors has often been studied by psychology. Positive psychology is also currently approaching to these problems and their relationship with positive factors, such as prosocial behaviours. The purpose of this research is to carry out a systematic review of the scientific literature that has studied this relationship from 1900 to 2020. After the screening process with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 15 articles were selected. The main characteristics found in this relationship and the problems or limitations of investigations that have found relationships other than the mainstream, which show a negative relationship between prosocial behaviours and addiction problems, are discussed.

“…The psychological literature provides a wealth of information about various individual characteristics that may be associated with developing problematic gambling [75,76,[143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151][152][153][154][155][156], and how these may be experienced across various life stages and related to other risky behaviours [98,[157][158][159][160][161][162][163]. The interaction of comorbid mental health issues has been clearly associated with gambling-related harm [164,165], with a strong relationship between depression, anxiety and at-risk or problem gambling.…”

Background Gambling and gambling-related harm attract significant researcher and policy attention. The liberalisation of gambling in most western countries is strongly associated with a marked rise in gambling activity and increases in gambling-related harm experienced at the population level. Programs to address gambling-related harm have traditionally focused on individuals who demonstrate problematic gambling behaviour, despite clear evidence of the effectiveness of a public health approach to high-risk activities like gambling. Little is known about the availability or efficacy of programs to address gambling-related harm at a population level. Methods The Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation commissioned a rapid evidence review of the available evidence on programs designed to reduce gambling-related harm at a population level. The review was conducted using a public health and harm reduction lens. MEDLINE, ProQuest Central and PsychInfo databases were searched systematically. Included studies were published in English between 2017 – 2023 from all countries with gambling policy contexts and public health systems comparable to Australia’s; included primary data; and focused on primary and/or secondary prevention of gambling-related harm or problems. Results One hundred and sixty-seven articles were eligible for inclusion. Themes identified in the literature included: risk and protective factors; primary prevention; secondary prevention; tertiary prevention; target population group; and public health approach. The evidence review revealed a gap in empirical evidence around effective interventions to reduce gambling-related harm at the population level, particularly from a public health perspective. Conclusions Addressing gambling-related harm requires a nuanced, multi-layered approach that acknowledges the complex social, environmental, and commercial nature of gambling and associated harms. Moreover, evidence demonstrates community programs to reduce gambling-related harm are more successful in reducing harm when based on sound theory of co-design and address the social aspects that contribute to harm.

“…Active participation in these groups allows patients to develop lasting friendships and find a supportive community that can help them navigate challenges and maintain their recovery. The camaraderie and shared experiences in these groups can promote a sense of belonging and reduce feelings of isolation, which are often struggles for individuals with addictive disorders ( Estévez et al, 2017 ; Dingle et al, 2018 ; Tomei et al, 2021 ).…”

“…As these children become adolescents, they often gain access to even more expedient and/or effective avoidance strategies, such as illicit substances, masturbation, shopping, and gaming ( Burkett and Young, 2012 ). Indeed, some addictive behaviors, particularly behavioral addictions, appear at startlingly young ages ( Kuss and Griffiths, 2012 ; Tomei et al, 2021 ). Although there is ongoing debate over classifying Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (ICD-11) as a behavioral addiction ( Kraus et al, 2016 ; Sassover and Weinstein, 2022 ), for the purposes of this discussion, these behaviors are characterized as addictive due to shared criteria and the functioning of coping modes.…”

The nature and origins of addictions and of their adjunctive behaviors, as well as their chronicity, call for treatments that conceptualize and treat them as the long-term and complex processes that they are. Addictions are often comorbid with personality problems and with trauma histories. Patients suffering from these disorders often show poor engagement with treatment and high rates of relapse, possibly because available treatments have yet to address the patient suffering from addiction in a more integrated or holistic manner. In particular, comprehensive treatment models for addictive disorders – like treatments for personality disorders or trauma – are likely to require the integration of behavioral, cognitive, and emotion-focused interventions within a facilitative therapeutic relationship. However, most current treatment models, including ones which are highly effective in stabilization or behavioral change, lack one or more components of treatment that could sustain longer term recovery, wellness, and health for a higher percentage of patients. In this article, I propose approaching addictions and their treatment from the perspective of schema therapy, an integrative, developmental model with a strong track record of positive outcomes in addressing personality disorder symptoms and long-standing trauma histories, commonly comorbid with addictive disorders. In advancing this proposal, I begin by providing some background tying together addictions, attachment, and personality, suggesting they be treated simultaneously to achieve improved outcomes. Then, after briefly reviewing the leading approaches to the treatment of addictions, I introduce the idea that schema therapy is well-situated – both theoretically and practically – to address many of the shortcomings of existing treatment options. In particular, I note how addictive and co-occurring colluding behaviors are deeply intertwined with both early and continued frustration of core developmental needs. I illustrate how the addictive cycle is perpetuated through the process of schema reinforcement and through the operation of schema modes. I then demonstrate how these key terms (i.e., needs, schemas, and modes) inform the patient’s assessment and case formulation, guiding treatment interventions from a strong therapeutic relationship that focuses on integrating recovery behavior change, healing dysfunctional schemas and modes, and preventing relapse.
