About the book: 2001 / Psychosocial addictionology. Ts.P.Korolenko, N.V.Dmitrieva. Novosibirsk, Olsib Publishing House, 2001 - 251 p. The practice of the last decade has convincingly demonstrated the need for further development of the concept of addictive disorders, which is increasingly used in scientific and practical approaches. A new direction has been formed, which can be called addictionology - the science of addictions. One of the main features of addictionology is its holistic (from “whole” - holistic) nature, which unites the various paradigms it uses. These include socio-psychological, biomedical, cultural, pedagogical, legal, spiritual, etc. The book offered to the attention of readers is the first guide to addictionology in Russia. Addictology studies the causes of addictions, the mechanisms of their development, psychological and clinical signs, symptoms, dynamics, methods of correction and therapy. The book presents current data on various aspects of addictive disorders; the psychological mechanisms involved in the formation and development of the addictive process are analyzed; descriptions of a number of chemical and non-chemical addictions are provided. Along with new information regarding relatively well-known forms of addictions, the book examines addictions that have not yet been sufficiently reflected in the literature.
