Résumé :
ENGLISH :
The article discusses different theoretical perspectives that are relevant in analysing long-term tranquillizer use. The theories mentioned are, e.g., behavioral theory models, cognitive models, humanistic and existential models, transpersonal identity models, psychodynamic reasoning, sociological and anthropological perspectives. A multidimensional model focusing on the connection between identity structure and long-term tranquillizer use is presented. The article argues for the use of mixed methodological strategies, e.g., quantitative and qualitative methods. The implications of the "actor-spectator paradox" for the analysis of data are also discussed in some detail. (Editor's abstract.)
