  • Title: [Treatment of drug addicts based on creative values].

    Abstract:
    From the correlations between childhood and different modes of thinking it appears possible to extract a type of profile of drug addicts. This profile is characterised by an individualised childhood and by a very autonomous mode of thinking, obtained by experience thoughts. Such children, sensitive and creators, are not made for dominant behaviours and ideals. When these are imposed upon them, they learn to like them in spite of them and consecutively profoundly feel a need for "other things" which brings about the tendency to drugs. When the adolescent is properly cared for, it is sufficient to reveal to him his latent talents and to give him confidence in himself so that he can find his stability. Typology, inconvenience, prevention and therapeutic of a large number of addicts would thus be tackled depending on a psychotechnic based on this mode of thinking.
