¿ Es una sociedad hedonista la que causa el auge de las adicciones? Reflexiones psicosociales sobre el adicto y la sociedad de consumo

Abstract

Is a hedonistic society that causes the rise of addictions? We’re not so sure… Not little evidence, makes us to think that the society is characterized by displeasure, discomfort and helplessness. So, what is it described as excessive hedonism or pleasure is rather a compensation to the excess dipleasure? And there is another question: Do young people take drugs just by mental illness or just for pathology? There is not some kind of facilitation in the fact that the drug is coupled with a social structure where the future is abolished, denigrated, devalued? Where the only thing left is the right now and the immediate future? Could it be addiction a figure of mediation, both subjective and social, which collapses the mental capacity to tolerate and developing the conflict, which is intertwined with the inability of social advance? And finally, in the field of addictions: there is not conflicts or rather different types of excesses that make impossible the capacity to containment subjective and social developments?
