Sucht, Trauma und Bindung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen 

Particularly among children and adolescents who have become severely addicted at an early age, there is a strong correlation between addiction, trauma and attachment disorder as a frequent form of comorbidity. In adulthood, as severely and chronically addicted people, the individuals affected often become hopeless long-term consumers. Adolescents= attachment behaviour is complex, and the treatment & which is already difficult & is therefore extremely challenging. Ways of clarifying this situation represent an innovative development in neurobiology that is currently taking place and is having a major impact on the understanding of addiction. Addiction therapy may be able to benefit from these new findings in trauma theory and attachment theory.
