“…From a clinical perspective, patients suffering from behavioral addictions present with problems that are similar to those experienced by people suffering from substance dependencies (Poppelreuter & Gross, 2000;Shaffer & Kidman, 2003). In comparison to the phaseology model of alcoholism (Jellinek, 1946), it appears that those addicted to certain behaviors progress through different phases in their addiction as well, which was found to be true for pathological gamblers (Custer, 1987). This does not mean that a behavioral addiction, such as online gaming addiction, should be classified in the same way as pathological gambling, namely within the spectrum of impulse control disorders.…”

Background and aims:Research suggests that excessive online gaming may lead to symptoms commonly experienced by substance addicts. Since games are particularly appealing to children and adolescents, these individuals may be more at risk than other groups of developing gaming addiction. Methods: Given these potential concerns, a literature review was undertaken in order (i) to present the classification basis of online gaming addiction using official mental disorder frameworks, (ii) to identify empirical studies that assess online gaming addiction in children and adolescents, and (iii) to present and evaluate the findings against the background of related and established mental disorder criteria. Results: Empirical evidence comprising 30 studies indicates that for some adolescents, gaming addiction exists and that as the addiction develops, online gaming addicts spend increasing amounts of time preparing for, organizing, and actually gaming. Conclusions: Evidence suggests that problematic online gaming can be conceptualized as a behavioral addiction rather than a disorder of impulse control.

“…Conceptual metaphors are analysed in the different fields of social science and the importance of metaphors in drug use have been long recognized in drug policy issues (Moore et al 2015;Perlman and Jordan 2017), in drug treatment (Gryczynski et al 2007), in progression and recovery of alcoholism (Jellinek 1946) and in revealing the experience of addiction (Shinebourne and Smith 2010;Gerçek 2017).…”

New psychoactive substances (NPS) remain a global public health and clinical challenge. Popular NPS include synthetic cannabinoids (SCs). A conceptual metaphorical analysis of user experiences of SCs was conducted in two European countries (Western and Central European). Metaphors are increasingly used to better understand drug user experiences and as medium to inform and guide clinical responses. Semi-structured interviews with 12 SC users were conducted in Hungary (n = 6) and Ireland (n = 6). Thematically segmented texts of SC usage (1) motivation, (2) effects, (3) consequences and (4) the setting were selected. A systematic analysis of conceptual metaphors was conducted on the selected texts. The conceptual target and source domains of the experiences of SC usage (motivation, effects, consequences) were analysed. Four conceptual source domains were found in all of the segmented and analysed narratives of psychological factors (motivations, effects, consequences): change in the vertical perception, perceiving that SC is everywhere, feeling disconnected, recognition of lack of control and identifying the SC as a destroying entity. The conceptual metaphors reflect how users perceive experiences of SC use, the discrepancy between the experience of embodiment and disembodiment. This study provides clinicians with an insight into the experiences of SC motivations, effects and consequences and can be used to inform and guide clinical and therapeutic responses in the support of those recovering from SC dependence.

“…Those in treatment are typically at the quite extreme end of the spectrum of drug-using behaviours [10], and are doing and suffering just about everything, as we have known for alcohol since Jellinek's early Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) study [11]. The high correlation in general population samples reflects, to a considerable extent, the high number of 'negative matches' between the criteria; the large number of respondents who are not using the substance at all, or using it sparingly, will contribute heavily to the correlations, if the usual statistics valuing negative and positive matches equally are used [12].…”
