Adolescent Substance Use, Misuse, and Abuse
No full textAdolescent substance use, misuse, abuse and dependence is a family-oriented problem given that prevention, early detection, tracking adolescents at high risk (child maltreatment, delinquency, sexually-transmitted diseases, substance use, suicide), treating dependent individuals and their family, and follow up are important. Drug abuse is prevalent among adolescents who, in most cases, ignore the dangers inherent in drug abuse. Many of them engage in drug abuse out of frustration, lack of parental supervision, peer influence, pleasure, poverty, etc. This paper presents a classification of the substances used by adolescents, an inventory of children and adolescents at risk for substance use, an inventory of the domain risk factors for adolescent substance use. The authors also clarify a few terminological issues (abuse, misuse, and use), identify the associations of adolescent substance use, and make an attempt at identifying the parent - adolescent relationship in adolescent substance use with focus on the father – daughter relationship
Alexithymia in Adolescents: A Review of Literature
No full textAlexithymia has been extensively studied for almost five decades now all over the world, except for Romania. This paper presents an overview of literature in the field of alexithymia, in general: it provides the etymology of the word alexithymia, its various definitions, its main types (primary, secondary, organic, and normative), and its features. Alexithymia in adolescents has been studied from different perspectives (behavioural, biological, communicational, epistemological, legal, medical, neurobiological, neuropsychological, neuropsychiatric, neuroscientific, psychiatric, psychological, and psychosomatic), in relation to associated conditions (antisocial behaviour (including ADHD), anxiety, delinquency, depression, dissociation, eating disorders, generalised anxiety disorder, other mental disorders, psychiatric symptoms, somatic symptom disorder, suicide risk) or behaviours (aggressive behaviour, deliberate self-harm, risk of problematic Internet use, cognitive reappraisal strategies, borderline personality disorder, anxiety and depression). Researchers have focused on alexithymia and age, gender and culture, tried to identify possible causes of this disorder (childhood family environment, digital / video game addiction or gaming disorder or Internet addiction or Internet gaming disorder, Internet-related disorder, disadvantageous living conditions in childhood, early life experiences, emotional abuse and neglect, emotional difï¬culties with caregivers during childhood, lack of social support, parents with alcohol-use problems, systematic abuses and/or abandonment in childhood or early adolescence) and predictors of alexithymia (attachment style, children’s perception of a neglectful parenting style, deficit in speech development, less cognitive capacity, low self-control of emotions, parents’ alexithymic traits). The article is a plea in favour of explicit assessments of alexithymia before initiating psychological treatments and adequate address of adolescents’ mood disorders
LOVE LEARNED EARLY: HOW CHILDHOOD SOCIAL SUPPORT CAPITAL INFLUENCES ROMANTIC LOVE
No full textBackground of the Study: It is widely believed that love is a learned behavior, with the common assumption that children who experience love and support are more likely to develop healthy, loving relationships, while those exposed to abuse may continue cycles of abuse in their own partnerships. This study aims to investigate how social support experienced in childhood influences the capacity for marital love in adulthood, addressing the potential long-term impact of early social experiences on later relational dynamics.
Method: A total of 114 adults (mean age = 38.4, SD = 6.15) participated in the study. Respondents completed self-administered, individual self-reported questionnaires, standardized and distributed online via Google Forms. The data focused on assessing the relationship between the level of social support perceived during childhood and the dimensions of love in adult relationships, including emotional intimacy, commitment, and passion.
Results: As hypothesized, the results indicated a significant positive association between the social support felt during childhood and the ability to experience and express love in adulthood. Respondents who reported higher levels of childhood social support demonstrated stronger love dimensions in their adult relationships, suggesting that a nurturing early environment contributes to healthier relational outcomes later in life.
Conclusion: The findings of this study highlight the crucial role of childhood social support in shaping an individual’s capacity for love and emotional connection in adulthood. These results underscore the importance of early positive social experiences for the development of healthy, long-lasting marital relationships, providing valuable insights for interventions and strategies aimed at fostering emotional well-being from childhood through adulthood. results highlight the importance of addressing family conflict to mitigate its potential negative effects on child development.
