  • 본 연구는 남성 알코올 중독 회복자의 생애사 연구이다. 본 연구의 목적은 남성 알코올 중독자의 삶을 통해 알코올 중독의 원인을 이해하며 그 원인에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 탐색하고, 알코올 중독에서 회복하는 경험을 이해하고자 함에 있다. 본 연구에는 10년 이상 회복 중인 남성 알코올 중독 회복자 노인이 참여하였다. Mandelbaum(1973)이 제안한 생애사 기법에 따라 '삶의 영역', '전환점','적응'으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 삶의 영역'은 <아버지가 망하던 그날>, <모래 위에 지은 누각과 같았던 젊은 날>, <술병에 갇혀버린 결혼생활>, <막다른 길, 혼자 남겨진 삶>으로 나타났으며, '전환점'은 <자살시도, 그리고 인간다운 삶에 대한 욕구>, <하늘에서 내려온 동아줄, 기초생활수급비>, <새로운 문을 열고 복지관에 들어서기> 로, 마지막 '적응'은 <중독으로부터의 해방을 위해 선택한 고독>, <무위(無爲)의 시간과 공간 채워나가기>, <돕는 손길과 함께 해내기>로 도출되었다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 알코올 중독의 회복을 위한 사회복지적 실천 및 정책 차원의 논의를 제시하였다.

  • Objectives: Cocaine has been well known as a representative drug of abuse for its strong reinforcing effect linked to the mesolimbic reward system including dopamine, and such reinforcement leads to the addiction. Acupuncture has been used widely in eastern Asia for the treatment of various diseases including mental disorders and psychiatric problems, and is gathering more interest as one of the complementary and alternative medicines in western countries. In a previous study, we demonstrated that acupuncture at HT7 could affect dopamine release in the mesolimbic system of rats sensitized to alcohol and morphine. This study was designed to investigate whether acupuncture at HT7 could attenuate cocaine intake or not. Material & Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 270-300 g at the start of experiment were trained to self-administer food pellets under a fixed ratio 1 schedule. After the success of acquisition of 100 pellets within 3 h for 3 consecutive days, animals were subjected to surgery whereby Silastic tubing was implanted into right jugular vein and secured with mesh under the anesthetization using pentobarbital injection (50 mg/kg, i.p.). Following recovery, rats were trained to self-administer cocaine (0.25 mg/kg) in daily 2 h sessions under fixed ratio 1 schedule over 10 days. Each treatment was performed on the next day of each establishment of baseline. Results: Results show that acupuncture at HT7, but not at control points, reduced cocaine intake significantly. Acupuncture at HT7 decreased selectively active lever response from $63.15{\pm}3.35$ to $51.46{\pm}3.99$ corresponding $82.12{\pm}5.31%$ compared to basal level. Also, it was demonstrated that the effect of acupuncture was mainly occurred at the half period. Nevertheless, acupuncture at HT7 did not influence the food taking behavior. Conclusions: From the results of this study, it may be suggested that acupuncture at HT7, at least in part, could contribute to the treatment of cocaine abuse.
