Freedom is not a human right and duty to God. " The outstanding Russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev (1874 - 1948 gg.) Behold the root Leo Tolstoy once spoke: "turn off your wine pangs of conscience ...." If taken literally classics of Russian literature, then we can agree that most often use alcohol by those who have problems with their conscience. But there is one thing but ... People are starting to ruin oneself by drink for different reasons: someone has made a habit of drinking for the company, someone learned in such a way to remove stress or pick yourself up, drown in a glass of grief or loneliness, relieves fatigue, frustration. Thousands of reasons, you can find thousands of reasons to explain why people are increasingly drawn to the bottle. Including the pangs of conscience. Count Tolstoy had in mind, most likely, both. He drew attention to the fact that alcohol gives the impression of "relief" at any time. Alcohol model explains, perhaps, many other types and forms of dependency. A lot of them. What people do not even know or do not realize it. I drew a tree of dependencies it I got a huge and very leafy. The trunk of this tree - it is the unconscious desire of people with this or that means, at least temporarily change its state "facilitating" it. TREE OF RELATIONSHIP Visually and you imagine such a tree. Left side - the chemical forms of dependency (eg, alcohol - a chemical agent with which people change their state, reaching with alcohol, "relief"). Right Side of the Tree - emotional forms of relationships (for example, the state of excitement - the emotional agent, by which man relieves stress or fueling their dreams and their significance alone the possibility of windfall luck "). The roots of this tree - the unconscious model of addictive behavior in which people try to satisfy the "frozen" requirements, that is, those needs that were not met in childhood. An example from practice. In the fifties, in Estonia there was outbreak of infectious disease - polio. Infectious disease clinic at Children's Hospital Merimetsa was a girl who has elevated the need for maternal care. For the first time she was placed in a detention center where strict regulations prohibit meet with relatives. Child poorly tolerated separation from her mother, cried all the time. Nurses, as they could, reassuring her, telling all sorts of stories to plausibly explain the reason for the absence of the mother. But this girl is not satisfied. When at last she was transferred from prison to house for convalescents, and visiting the mother was possible, the girl developed a children's anxiety neurosis.
