Abstract

The concept of addiction refers to different ways of understanding the relationship between an individual and an object (substance or behavior). The pharmacological valence and salience of the term " drug " are questioned by behavioral addictions. This recent subject of research and support can be illuminated by non-addictive reading grids and by knowledge of the mechanisms of addictions with substances. It calls into question our relationship with pleasure, and leads us to rethink prevention, risk reduction and care.
