La toxicomanie ou la quête impossible de l'objet

Abstract

The aim of this article is to study the role of drug as an object in the drug addict's psychical dynamics and economics. To start with we will try and understand the defects of the inner object limited with insutticient introjection, their relations with the construction of the tansitional space which wasn't achiered in a sufficien way with the drug addict. Therefore we shall mention the notion of « referring object » as it appears with the emergence of the fear of collapse when confronted with a sudden defect of the defensive organisation. To us, that notion of « referring object » can appey to drug, as a concrete object, in its relation with the drug addict's psychism.
