Research and clinical experiences show that people engaging in drug
addiction for some years usually embrace severe mental illnesses
including schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder,
depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Schizophrenia
usually occurs in patients with prolonged use of amphetamine and
hallucinogens. Borderline personality disorder commonly happens in
female addicts who have experienced abandonment and childhood
abuse. On the one hand, drug addiction can be used to cope with
symptoms of severe mental illness. On the other hand, prolonged
drug addiction can also induce severe mental illness. A close look
into individuals with chronic drug addiction usually review that
they encounter suffering, hardship and traumas. There are two types
of traumas encountered by people with drug addiction. The first one
is trauma before drug addiction and substance abuse. Many of them
may have suffered through abuse, oppression and abandonment in
their lives. Another one is drug led traumas because of
psychosocial deprivation and medical problems induced by chronic
addiction. In this book, apart from describing a comprehensive
model in understanding and interpreting the complexity of trauma,
mental illness and drug addiction, this model is applied and
illustrated in clients with borderline personality disorder and
schizophrenia, drug addiction and those who have experience
different forms of trauma. Related psychosocial interventions are
also thoroughly discussed.
