THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR OF MILITARY

Abstract

The modern understanding of the term addictive behavior is highlighted. The psychological causes of addictions, which consist of individual psychological peculiarities of the personality and aggravating sociopsychological factors, are examined. Acceptable and dangerous forms of addictions that exist in modern society are described. The main social factors of the adictics are shown to be the "cultural / subcultural" motivation of the individuum to be likened to the group because of the fear of being different. The similarity of the psychological mechanisms inf their formation was observed in studying the addictions, selected according to the criteria: gambling games (computer games), information dependencies (internet, television), activities (hard worker, addicted to shopping, kleptomania, sex-addicted), accentuation on oneself (the seizure of one's own appearance and his own body, mania of grandeur ), fanaticism. These addictions have been grouped into behavioral addiction – the uncontrolled behavior for natural rewards, despite the negative effects of physical, social and financial well-being, and despite social condemnation. Modern researches tend to simultaneously coexist several forms of implementation of addictive behavior in one individuum. And often chemical and non-chemical forms of addictive behavior coexist together. Thus, there is a coexistence of addictive behavior associated with the use of alcohol and (or) narcotics and psychotropic substances with gembling, as well as Internet addiction. A number of authors pay particular attention to addictive behavior associated with the use of pituitary and psychotropic substances. In many ways, this is due to the fact that this form of implementation of addictive behavior is the greatest danger, both for the individual, and for society. The problem of addictive behavior in the last decade has become especially urgent and is considered as a challenge to modern society, a threat to the national security of the country. Emphasizes not only the widespread prevalence of addictive forms of behavior, but also a significant redistribution in the structure of treatment of such persons for psychiatric and psychotherapeutic assistance. There is a heterogeneity in the prevalence of addictive behavior among different age groups.
