Description: A theory of the causation of addictions. This site explores both Khantzian's psychoanalytic model and Duncan's behavioral model of the hypothesis.
The purpose of this web site is to provide basic information about the Self-Medication Hypothesis -- one of the most influential theories of the causation of drug abuse and addictions. The self-medication hypothesis proposes that addiction to alcohol and other drugs results from their use for relief from dysphoria resulting from an underlying disorder or condition -- such as stress. It was proposed in 1974 in separate publications by Edward J. Khantzian and David F. Duncan.
