This dissertation examines the ways in which toxicomanias may serve as an identity in contemporary society. The analysis is done based on four basic pillars: the complicity relationship with the mother figure, the failure of the paternal functions, the loss of ideal identifications, and the sacrifices the body is subject to in toxicomanias. In understanding and following the drug addict`s family relations, many questions can be raised as to the environment that led to that condition. On another level, a debate can also be raised as to psychoanalytical diagnosis in toxicomanias - neurosis, psychosis, perversion.
