Syftet med studien är att studera föräldrars, mamma respektive pappas emotioner och känslomässiga likheter och skillnader till unga vuxna barn med narkotikamissbruk utifrån spelfilm. Analysen består av två amerikanska spelfilmer. I studien syftar vi till droger i form av narkotika och inte alkohol. Metoden vi använt i denna studie var kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Studien visade att föräldrar till missbrukande vuxna barn känner många liknande emotioner ur ett emotionssociologiskt och emotionspsykologiskt perspektiv. Däremot finns det skillnader i hur dessa emotioner synliggörs utåt och vad reaktionerna blir som resultat av emotionerna som de känner. Känslor som ofta uppstår för föräldrar till vuxna barn med missbruk är ilska, rädsla, glädje, sorg, skam och skuld. Dessa emotioner som föräldrarna känner kombineras på olika sätt vilket skildras i filmerna. Några mönster som skildras i båda filmer avseende emotioner är att ilska ofta döljer sorg, skam, skuld eller rädsla. Pappan i Beautiful Boy visar ilska tydligt utåt samtidigt som det döljer känslor av ilska, glädje, sorg, skam och skuld. Mamman i Ben is back känner också ilska men det visas inte utåt på samma sätt, utan snarare i form av sorg och illamående. Däremot döljer illamåendet en ilska som i sin tur döljer ovanstående känslor av skam, skuld, sorg eller rädsla. Andra mönster som också skildras i filmerna är att sorg döljer ilska samt att skam döljer ilska eller rädsla. I filmerna skildras att mamman och pappan känner skam över att de misslyckats som förälder. Däremot döljer denna känsla av skam, känslor som ilska och rädsla då föräldrarna är irriterade över situationen deras barn befinner sig i samt oro och rädsla för vad som kan hända och de risker som finns med missbruket. Emotioner som syns utåt ur både mamma och pappa är ilska i olika former, skuld, sorg och framförallt oro som skildras ständigt genom båda spelfilmerna. / The aim of this study was to understand how films depict how it is emotionally and also emotional similarities and differences to be a parent, mother and father of a young adult child with a narcotics addiction. The analysis is based on two American films. In this study we refer to drugs in the form of narcotics and not alcohol. The method for this study was a qualitative content analysis. The study found that parents of adult children with drug addiction feel many similar emotions from a perspective of sociology of emotions and psychology of emotions. However, there are differences in how these emotions are made visible to the outside world and what the reactions are as a result of the emotions they feel. Emotions that often arise for parents of adult children with addiction are anger, fear, joy, grief, shame and guilt. These emotions that the parents feel are combined in different ways, which is depicted in the films. Some patterns depicted in both films regarding emotions are that anger often hides grief, shame, guilt or fear. The father in Beautiful Boy clearly shows anger outwards while hiding feelings of anger, joy, grief, shame and guilt. The mother in Ben is back also feels anger but is not shown outwards in the same way, rather in the form of sadness and nausea. On the other hand, the nausea hides an anger which also hides the feelings mentioned above of shame, guilt, grief or fear. Other patterns that also are depicted in the films are that grief hides anger and that shame hides anger or fear. The films depict that the mother and father feel ashamed that they have failed as a parent, however, this feeling of shame hides feelings such as anger and fear when the parents are annoyed about the situation their sons are in, as well as worries and fears about what might happen and the risks that comes with the addiction. Emotions that are seen externally from both mum and dad are anger in various forms, guilt, grief and above all anxiety that is constantly portrayed through both feature films.

Para isso partimos da Psicologia Social e do conceito de Identidade como categoria central de análise, propondo entender o fenômeno não apenas no seu aspecto instrumental, mas sim, todo o contexto no qual o indivíduo que usa substâncias psicoativas está inserido, nos conflitos da tradição vs. modernidade, do mercado de consumo, dos diagnósticos e tratamentos; com a proposta de apresentar uma contribuição tanto teórica, quanto política. A pesquisa foi realizada a partir da narrativa da história de vida do participante, que foi gravada e transcrita com o consentimento do entrevistado.

Risk taking behaviours such as drug use, sexual activities and tattooing are prevalent in the correctional institutions, including those in South Africa. Such behaviours pose a serious challenge as regards health care of inmates. In particular, these behaviours contribute to the transmission of HIV/AIDS which results in morbidity and mortality. Harm reduction components are employed as effective measure to curb the spread of the pandemic. These components are lauded owing to their considerable impact. They consist of needle exchange programmes, substitution therapy, condom provision and education. Various developing (Morocco, Brazil and Egypt) and developed (Scotland and Canada) countries make use of such components to address risk taking behaviours in correctional institutions. Although condom provision and education have been implemented by the South African Department of Correctional Services in state institutions, there is an urgent need to enhance the efforts. This study investigates the extent of risk taking behaviours amongst inmates at the Leeuwkop Correctional Centre. It also determines the level of knowledge of inmates and staff regarding HIV/AIDS. The researcher employed a qualitative form of methodology, collecting data by means of a structured questionnaire. The data was coded and analysed by means of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The findings reveal that the risk taking behaviours are prevalent at the Leeuwkop Correctional Centre. Furthermore, the analysis of the knowledge items regarding HIV/AIDS indicates that there are certain deficits that require attention. They are also notable differences in the primary sources of HIV information for inmates and staff. It was found that a dire need exists to enhance and expand current harm reduction initiatives in correctional institutions in order to offer health care services that are compliant with international conventions such as the Dublin Declaration on HIV/AIDS as well as the South African Constitution. Reluctance to do so is tantamount to housing inmates in „de facto‟ death chambers. Hence the augmentation of such initiatives is strongly recommended. / Penology / D. Litt. et Phil. (Penology)
