Substance and Other Addictions \ 1-1
Addiction is affecting our lives like a growing monster. There is no one in our family who can say that it does not happen. What are the types of addictions? How do cigarette, alcohol, substance and internet addiction develop? Even if you control the family, it is difficult to control the school, dormitory, neighborhood, friends, in short, the environment. Is it preventable? Yeah. How? How will we protect our children, what are our duties? These are the questions many parents seek answers to. So what will the parents do? What will they not do? We tried to produce a work that could answer these questions of parents and guide parents in crisis situations. The idea for this book was born when the paths of experts from different fields who work with substance addicts in their professional practice crossed in a project for substance addicts. During the project process, interviews were held with many drug addicts and their families. Internet addicted individuals were supported. Cognitive-behavioral-based group and individual therapy sessions were conducted. The experiences gained were filtered through the examination of scientific publications and works, and were compiled into a book in an understandable language with the aim of guidance. The main purpose of this book you hold in your hands is to increase the awareness of you, parents, by revealing the effects of the attitudes and behaviors of parents or other family members on the perception of self and the outside world formed in the world of children and young people, and how these increase their addiction potential, and by revealing concrete events in this process. .
Addiction is perhaps the most important and primary problem of our time. It does not seem possible to produce solutions without revealing this problem scientifically. A complete reference book with the process of diagnosing addiction with multidisciplinary work, its psychosocial dimension and possible solution suggestions.

The use of addictive substances, from cigarettes to heroin, from laughing gas to synthetic pills, is the most important threat to Turkey. Our country, which used to be a transit country, is now a target country. Deaths due to substance use, addiction, substance-related or substance-influenced crimes have increased, and unfortunately the age of use has decreased a lot. The use of addictive substances is a preliminary crime. Prostitution, public order, theft, injury, murder and terror crimes also exist in the environments where these substances are used. The use is encouraged both openly and through perception management in movies, music and media. Scientists have important duties in preventing the problem of substance abuse, which is the most effective asymmetric war against a country, both in terms of supply and demand. In this book, especially the young and idealistic scientists who come together to fill the gap in the field and enlighten other scientists and the public have further increased our hopes for the future.

Throughout human history, many substances have been used for medical, religious and social purposes. With the development of technology, the variety and use of substances has increased, and with the addition of rapid changes in cultural and social factors, the prevalence of substance use and addiction has become inevitable. In this book prepared by young scientists for those working in the field of substance use and addiction, a general overview of the subject of addiction, the importance of multidisciplinary work, clinical evaluations, cognitive processes, forensic toxicological analyses and applications, traffic applications, social service applications, and current therapy methods are discussed.
