It discusses in detail the mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment of substance and non-substance addictions, and addresses selected prospects that will shape future studies on addiction. Addiction is a global problem that costs millions of lives tremendous damage year after year. There are mainly two types of addition: substance addiction (e.g., nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, heroin, stimulants, etc.) and non-substance addiction (e.g., gambling, computer gaming, Internet, etc.). Based on existing evidence, both types of addiction produce negative impacts on individuals’ physical, mental, social and financial well-being, and share certain common mechanisms, which involve a dysfunction of the neural reward system and specific gene transcription factors. However, there are also key differences between these two types of addiction.

Der amerikanische Schriftsteller David Foster Wallace veröffentlichte im Jahr 1996 den Roman „Unendlicher Spaß“, welcher in der hier vorliegenden Dissertation erstmals hauptsächlich aus medizinischer Perspektive beleuchtet wird. Neben biografischen Bezügen zum Autor werden die im Roman auftretenden psychischen Erkrankungen, insbesondere Abhängigkeitserkrankungen, inhaltlich und sprachlich behandelt. Der medizinische Fokus des Romans liegt in der realitätsnahen Schilderung von klinisch manifesten Suchterkrankungen, die mit einem bibliotherapeutischen Nutzen einhergehen können, sowie in der Kritik und dem Hinterfragen gesellschaftlicher Umstände, die die Entstehung von Suchterkrankungen fördern und aufrechterhalten.
