- Title
New drugs and polydrug use: implications for clinical psychology.
- Authors
Iudici, Antonio; Castelnuovo, Gianluca; Faccio, Elena
- Abstract
The article proposes tossicofilia, a conceptualization of drug use that complements that of "drug-addiction" to help clinical psychologists and social workers understand substance abuse, especially polydrug use. Topics covered include the construct of "toxicophilia" to understand the impact of psychological elements on drug use, and the effect of the prejudice against drug users on how they perceive and represent themselves.
