Abstract

Authors have conducted a data-driven computer-aided content analysis of autobiographies of 24 persons with novel psychoactive substance use disorder, receiving treatment in a residential facility. Main results reflect abusive relations and substance use as a family problem affecting several generations. The controlled loss of control and using/abusing relations in the lives of the substance users are conceptualized as repetitions of the patterns experienced from early childhood. Results underline the importance of network-based social work; and of social-relational skills development.
