Allocronie della cura, strategie e tattiche nei percorsi terapeutici per le dipendenze

In the field of addictions specific attention is more or less directly focused on the rehabilitation and therapeutic paths offered by the designated structures of the National Health Service. This paper, based on a still ongoing research conducted in Tuscany, aims to explore the readings and interpretations of addiction treatments, expressed by different kinds of social actors involved and operating in the therapeutic field: operators, doctors and patients. The analysis of their narratives and practices allows us to reflect on specific themes and frames characterizing the “cure” relationship, sometimes full of tensions, especially for what concerns the treatment. Moreover, the ethnography enables to intersect the representations reproduced by social actors, showing their allochronic nature.
