Résumé :
ENGLISH :
This article attempts to integrate previous articles in this issue into an integrative statement that addresses the concept of drug abuse and drug abuse prevention from a transdisciplinary perspective. It is argued that there are two types of drug misusers. There are drug experimenters who make mistakes and drug misusers who utilize drugs as a means to counteract a baseline state of dis-balance. Prevention must address remediation of this dis-balance for the latter type of drug misuser. (Review' s abstract)
