Adiktologie (Addictology)

The journal strives to mediate communication among professionals working in this field, provide a valuable platform for such communication, and present current knowledge, both in terms of theory and practice. In addition to the printed form (the journal itself), it is the interactive section of this website that provides broader space for communication.

ADIKTOLOGIE reflects the modern trend of the continuous development of addictology as a separate discipline, a new branch of science with clearly designated boundaries. The quest for the development of a new discipline capable of going beyond the inadequate single-field concept, integrating knowledge generated by different theoretical perspectives, is becoming an increasingly significant factor shaping the field of the prevention and treatment of, and research into, addictions, i.e. addictions to all types of both legal and illegal drugs and also addictive behavioural disorders, such as an addiction to gambling machines.
