Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2022/Childhood trauma and subsequent drug use

Comment

Hi there! Very interesting topic and well written to show the connections/correlations of drug use within individuals that have experienced childhood trauma.

A few points of feedback:

• The language used was quite negative. Using neutral language will strengthen your argument/points.
• The chapter seemed one with no content provided on the use of substances. For example, there are some studies that have used controlled substances for therapeutic purposes, e.g. psychedelic therapy. Recent research has shown that substances like psilocybin (found in magic mushrooms) and MDMA (ecstasy) may have therapeutic benefits in treating PTSD, depression, and anxiety, particularly when used in controlled, clinical settings.

Study example: MDMA (Ecstasy) Studies Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS): MAPS has conducted several studies on MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD. A Phase 3 trial published in Nature Medicine in 2021 demonstrated that MDMA-assisted therapy led to significant reductions in PTSD symptoms. Participants in the study reported lasting improvements in their trauma-related symptoms and overall quality of life.

Just some food for thought! --U3126684 (discuss • contribs) 13:52, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

tDCS for Drug Abuse Treatment

Hello there, you have a really interesting and relevant topic and I have really enjoyed reading your chapter so far. For the section you have included on treatment of drug abuse problems I was wondering if you have possibly considered looking at how trans-cranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could be applied to treat drug abuse disorders. I know that it has been used to effectively treat other serious mental health conditions like schizophrenia but I would be curious to see if it could have any effect on drug use.

Thank you very much

Awesome chapter and a fascinating topic to investigate. Just a little formatting tip here. You are able to give tables a title. I noticed under 'attachment theory' the title for your table was in paragraph format and was capitalised in places that it shouldn't be, quickly fixed it up for you!

Resource

Hi there. Looks like you are smashing it so this resource may be coming a bit late. however it could be a good external link?

It is Johaan Hari's ted talk about his book on addiction which mentions the role of childhood trauma in drug use.

Great structure, some references to help

Hi there

Very nicely structured. This topic resonates with me because I work with people with drug abuse due to childhood trauma.

I have some references from my research if they can help you.

I am looking forward to see your final product.

Kind regards

Feedback and future directions

Excellent topic choice! Nicely structured chapter.

This topic is quite personal to me, and I appreciate your efforts in drawing attention to it and raising awareness within the science community. Kudos to you.

From my lived experience with trauma and familial substance use, I have found Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills training (Linehan, 2015) to be beneficial. I currently work in this field and have witnessed the impacts of this psychotherapuetic approach on many who have experienced childhood trauma and struggle with substance use. There is growing evidence of the efficacy of such treatment. Cavicchioli et al. (2019) has investigated DBT in the treatment of substance use. Plenty of other research out there, particularly for those who live with comorbidity of substance use and personality disorders.

really well done! great use of case studies and images throuhgout the chapter. this allows the reader to understand and follow through the contents information easily. U3216563 (discuss • contribs) 06:40, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Comment

This is so well done, it flowed very well and came together nicely. From what I understand trauma is often a cycle ie the parents are likely to have suffered some trauma themselves is family therapy something that is recommended or are all parties better off seeking individual therapy?--U3037979 (discuss • contribs) 22:37, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Book chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a solid chapter that makes good use of psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. Move non-peer reviewed links into the external links section. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Overview Solid Overview. Explains the problem or phenomenon. Perhaps consider prevalence? Consider introducing a case study or example to help engage reader interest. Reasonably clear focus question(s). Local help resources removed as audience is international. Theory – Breadth Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained. Relevant theory is reasonably well explained. Consider including neurodevelopmental aspects (or some other theory that relates more directly to what EMDR might be effective). Builds somewhat on previous, related chapters. Theory – Depth Appropriate depth is provided about the selected theory(ies). Useful case studies provided to illustrate the problem; answers to the reflection questions would be ideal. Several claims lack sufficient citation. Research – Key findings Reasonably good review of relevant research. More detail about key studies would be ideal. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful. Research – Critical thinking Basic critical thinking about research is evident. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags). Integration Discussion of theory and research is reasonably well integrated. Conclusion Key points are well summarised. Clear take-home message(s). Written expression – Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is good. Internationalise: Write for an international, rather than domestic, audience. Australians make up only 0.32% of the world human population. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences. Avoid overly emotive language (e.g,. "the sad reality") in science-based communication. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes. Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words. "People" is often a better term than "individuals". Reduce use of weasel words which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning. Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance. Check and make correct use of commas. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats').[2]. Use serial commas[3] – they are part of APA style and agenerally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min). APA style Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10). Figures Figures are very well used. Figures are well captioned. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation). Citations use correct APA style. References use correct APA style. Written expression – Learning features Overall, the use of learning features is excellent. Very good use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example. Good use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links, per Tutorial 2. Excellent use of image(s). Excellent use of table(s). Very good use of feature box(es). Promising use of case studies. Useful reflection questions. How about also providing some clearer guidance through some possible answers? Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section. Address an international audience. Social contribution ~50 logged, useful, minor to major social contributions with direct links to evidence. Thanks very much for your extensive contributions.

Hi.

Drug addiction often results from a mix of personal, societal, and biological factors. Childhood trauma, genetics, mental health disorders, peer pressure, economic challenges, and lack of education can all increase the risk of drug addiction. While personal choice plays a role, blaming individuals without recognizing these factors oversimplifies the issue. Effective treatment requires understanding and addressing these root causes rather than merely assigning blame.

Well done! U3217153 (discuss • contribs) 18:45, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi there,

Really interesting topic! I read some interesting points that have helped me in writing my chapter. A thought that came up was do social and environmental factors, community support systems or socioeconomic status for example, interact with childhood trauma to influence the likelihood of drug use later in life? Could a strong social support system or even access to mental health resources reduce the impact of trauma on drug use? I found that support systems were a strong protective factor for reducing juvenile offending while researching my own topic, and thought it might be relevant.
