52	The "e" in rave : a profile of young ecstasy users and its implication for educators Zervogiannis, Fanitsa Helen 11 1900 (has links) The use of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or Ecstasy is a phenomenon that has established itself in the widespread Rave culture. Ecstasy use causes not only physical, social and psychological problems in the development of the adolescent but may also influence his concentration and learning abilities. To prevent these problems educators should be well informed regarding current drug use trends and also be capable of assisting adolescents. Research regarding the nature of Ecstasy use and the characteristics of its users is lacking nationally. The increase in use amongst school going adolescents and young adults and the fact that there are side effects and unknown long term effects has made it imperative that educators learn as much as possible about this drug. The purpose of this research is therefore to furnish the educator with accurate information that will enable him to obtain a reference point from which assistance can be offered to the young Ecstasy user. / Psychology of Education / M.Ed.(Guidance and Counselling) Adolescent Recreational drug use MDMA Ecstasy Rave culture Spirituality Dance or club drugs Profiles of Ecstasy users Drug education Harm reduction 362.2990835 Drug abuse counseling -- South Africa.
