Résumé :
ENGLISH :
This special issue combines contributions from several disciplines within the social sciences on how to understand long-term use or dependency on various kinds of psychotropics. It emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach in order to understand the complexity of such long-term use. The papers in this issue will base their arguments on psychological, sociological, anthropological, clinical, and social pharmacy perspectives. Different disciplines focus specially on certain topics. For example, psychology can help us to understand what kind of mental processes that are involved in the development of long-term tranquillizer use. Sociology, anthropology and social pharmacy have a particular contribution to make in helping us, in different ways, to understand the social meanings of psychotropic drug use. (Editor's abstract.)
