ResumoO conceito de codependência, embora muito popular no meio clínico do campo das dependências químicas, segue sendo considerado um constructo muito criticado e controverso no meio científico. Nosso objetivo foi avaliar o estado da arte sobre o constructo de codependência de familiares de usuários de álcool e outras drogas quanto à etiologia e outros possíveis fatores relacionados. Tratase de uma revisão da literatura através da busca de artigos indexados em bases de dados, publicados nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol, utilizando-se os descritores codependência, transtornos relacionados ao uso de substâncias e família. Foram incluídos 16 artigos nesta revisão, os quais retratam que o conceito de codependência segue teorizado e pouco explorado de forma empírica. Tentativas de escalas de rastreio foram realizadas sem replicações de estudos de campo. De uma forma geral, aqueles que se autoidentificam como pessoas codependentes, uma vez que recebem suporte, relatam alguns benefícios positivos. O termo, mais do que um conceito psicológico de fato validado, parece representar um movimento social que deu empoderamento aos membros das famílias de usuários de álcool e outras drogas. Mais estudos de campo sobre a validação conceitual da codependência e os fatores a ela relacionados devem ser conduzidos, a fim de corroborar sua real utilidade clínica e ampliação de evidência da existência desse fenômeno. Palavras-chave:Codependência, transtornos relacionados ao uso de substâncias, família. AbstractThe concept of codependency is very popular in the clinical setting in the field of addiction but continues to be a highly criticized and controversial construct in the scientific literature. The objective of this paper was to evaluate state-of-the-art information on the construct of codependency of family members of users of alcohol and other drugs with regard to etiology and other possible related factors. In this literature review, databases were searched for indexed articles published in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, using the keywords codependency, substance-related disorders, and family. A total of 16 articles were included in the review; according to these articles, the concept of codependency continues to be essentially theoretical and little explored empirically. Attempts have been made to use screening scales, but replication in field studies are lacking. Overall, individuals who self-identify as codependent report positive benefits -probably because they receive support. The term codependency, more than a validated psychological concept, seems to represent a social movement that has empowered family members of users of alcohol and other drugs. More field studies are necessary to achieve the conceptual validation of codependency, as well as to investigate factors related to it. Only then will the real clinical usefulness of this phenomenon be confirmed, and the body of evidence of its existence expanded.

“…Unlike the above viewpoints, some researchers argue that the observed relationship between religiosity and delinquency is spurious (e.g., Cochran, Wood, & Arneklev, 1994;Ellis & Thompson, 1989); some even found religiosity has no impact on deterring criminal behavior (e.g., Bahr, Hawks, & Wang, 1993;Hawks, Bahr, & Wang, 1994;Hirschi & Stark, 1969;Ross, 1994). Clark (1958), "there is no more difficult word to define than religion" (p. 17).…”

Recent research acknowledges an inverse relationship between religiosity and crime (though some claim it is a modest one), but no desistance theories to date include religiosity in their model to help explain desistance from drug use. A better understanding of how religiosity is related to the initiation of and desistance from drug use can lead to more effective preventive and rehabilitative interventions. Data derived from Wave 5 to Wave 7 of the National Youth Survey are employed to test whether religiosity exerts an effect on initiation of and desistance from drug use. The findings suggest religious behavior has a direct effect on individuals' desistance from marijuana and hard-drug use. On the other hand, religious salience has a significant deterrent effect only on the onset of drug use; it does not have a significant effect on individuals' desistance from drugs. Policy implications are discussed, and future research suggestions are offered.
