title: [Correlation of physical and psychological aspects in alcohol and drug dependence].
abstract: Dependence to alcohol and drug must be consistently viewed as the consequence of a combination of physical and psychological elements. This is substantiated both philosophically and by taking issue with dualist concepts as well as those which absolutize the psychological aspect. The medical definition of dependence as an illness should be adhered to, whilst at the same time recognizing that psychological and social factors play a determining role.
