AM. On the “Straight Edge” approach among the young people, [in:] Problemy Narkomanii, no.,4 [in print].
Abstract Stereotypical thinking
about the young people makes us perceive this age group as naturally
predestined for experimental behaviours. There were many prevention programmes
created, whose creators set the main goal to promote among the young people the
teetotal attitude. This immanent need to be “different”, as well as
rebelliousness rules out, seemingly, achieving this goal. As it turns out in
the world where “everyone drinks” and “everyone takes” the only possibility to
stand out is “not doing it”. The article depicts the Straight Edge group, whose
basic rules are: I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs”. What is
interesting, it is not of religious character, and those three values bond the
young originating fro different subcultures. Thus we can find here a punk, a
hip-hop, a skinhead at one concert, where there is no alcohol, and the most
important thing for them is music. The author describes this phenomenon using
her own research.

Dissertation on the causes of sorrow in neophytes’ mothers, [in:] Wychowanie Na Co Dzień, no. 10-11, [in print].
Abstract Even though they led
their children, often with the help of the father, to treatment in the
institution or at least motivated them to undertake treatment at an
outpatient’s clinic. … even though they came a way full of struggle, suffering,
being on the verge of psychological exhaustion… even though diagnosing them as
“co-addicted” by institutions and other subjects, determined their behaviour
profile… the event that will happen shortly – their child’s return from the
institution, does not bring smile to their faces. Why? The article, using the
system theory, the theory of family cycles and personality changes in
child-mother relations tries to reconstruct the causes of neophytes’ mothers’
suffering.

Abstract Stigma.
This word first brings pejorative associations. Scar, birthmark, suffering…
that is how E. Goffman understood this notion. The reviewed book using this
scientist’s theory tries to create an interdisciplinary context around this
notion. Is there a “positive” stigma? Is it possible to conscientiously
“shoulder” the mark? Does it always cause suffering? Doesn’t the stigma
stigmatize itself? Or perhaps it is totally different! The review became the
basis for a debate in the KiE between the reviewers and the book author.

stress, or…? Searching for a definition of co-addiction in the family with the
problem of children’s drug addiction, [in:] Problemy Narkomanii, no. 4, pp.
6-29.
Abstract The article discusses the historical
development of the notion “co-addiction”, which has its source in the
observation of a family with the alcohol addiction problem. As it turned out
its meaning, throughout the years, was extended to families with the problem of
children’s drug addiction, and the families which do not have a problem with
addiction. The change of the notion’s meaning applied to medical and
therapeutic help suggests surprising relations between the “current”
definition, the tools for diagnosing it and the number of diagnosed people. The
author also presents the contemporary understanding of this notion, both in
Polish and in English literature. She also presents example tools used to diagnose
this phenomenon, used especially in the USA. e-version

Abstract According to the views
of social constructionism: reality is becoming the way you think about it,
researching the ways in which somebody is diagnosed as a “sick” person takes on
a new dimension. Indicating types of thinking about own, previously diagnosed
“sickness” matched against experiences confirm such a hypothesis. Research
realised by the author among parents of addicted childrn is an exemplification
of this thesis. It points out a typology of thinking about co-addiction.

Abstract Sociology as a
relatively young science is still contending the problem of ambiguous
terminology and abundance of theories describing social life. organizing such a
great variety is a real challenge for anyone who tries to contest it. This
might of course be a testimony of the value of this science but some might see
it as its drawback. Sociology students must have experienced a situation when
while reading materials for various courses they had to wade through a huge
amount of study papers and articles concerning interesting aspects. The author
presents own observations concerning the first attempt of creating such a publication
as the one she reviews.
