The latest issue of NAD is a thematic issue and stems from the work of the international research consortium ‘Theories of addiction and images of addictive behaviours’ and its continuation, the Helsinki Centre for the Study of Addiction, Control and Governance (CEACG).
The research reports of the issue offer insights into theoretical conceptualisations and images of addiction. The approaches employed include historical and philosophical reflections, quantitative and qualitative analysis of professional and lay perceptions, as well as inquiries into images of addiction in popular culture. Apart from the theoretical value, the articles provide food for thought at the most pragmatic level. Given the lack of consensus over addiction issues, the views that various stakeholders and lay people have, for example, on the causes of and the solutions to addiction problems may also bear upon the arrangement of treatment systems and policy measures.
