Why do we call it addiction? Epistemological reflections on the world of addiction

SUMMARY

Starting from its definition, the topic of addiction has revealed its epistemological framework. Addiction derives from the Latin addictus, a term used in ancient Rome to indicate a state of slavery (Oxford English Dictionary, 2008). This study aims to understand if those who use drugs or have a behavioral disorder such as gambling disorder (Clark et al., 2013; Frisone et al., 2020a, 2020b; Frisone, 2021) should be considered mainly as slaves.
