Why do we take drugs?

Dr. José Antonio Rodríguez Piedrabuena, a specialist in psychiatry and psychoanalysis, reflects on the drugs and addictions that lead human beings away from their genetic programming in the second video of the five made for PROA Comunicación

"Our genetic programming seeks simple, natural pleasures, nothing to do with what we can find on the supermarket shelves, nothing to do with video games, social networks, or aspects that do not represent a reward. The real reward is to be healthy, to survive, to live together, and to be emotionally and mentally stable," he says.

Why do we take drugs?' aims to provide us with the keys to a modern and updated vision of the origin and causes of human beings falling into infinite modalities of addictive behaviours and bonds. The book reviews and synthesises the experience of twenty years of reflection and work on the subject. It dispels misunderstandings and superficial visions. In the second part, he expands on his professional work with these people. He has put his thoughts and reflections side by side with those who have been working on the subject for ninety years and are still working on it today. José Antonio Rodríguez Piedrabuena is a member of the International Psychoanalytical Society.The programme is supported by the London Group Analysis, the Spanish Society of Psychiatry and the Institute of Psychosomatic Studies and Medical Psychotherapy.
