Authors
Starting from the theoretical-clinical analysis of the pathological dissociation involved in addiction, the author proposes a re-reading of the additive symptoms (the compulsion to take any drug object) in the light of the distinction between removed unconscious and non-removed unconscious. The hypothesis is that, in those who suffer from any addiction (from sex, the internet, psychotropic substances, food, etc.), the dissociative nature of their compulsive behaviour is associated with an alteration of the unconscious not removed due to traumatic relational experiences lived since childhood.
