Abstract

Starting from its definition, the topic of addiction has revealed its epistemological framework. Addiction derives from the Latin addictus, a term used in ancient Rome to indicate a state of slavery (Oxford English Dictionary, 2008). This study aims to understand if those who use drugs or have a behavioral disorder such as gambling disorder (Clark et al., 2013; Frisone et al., 2020a, 2020b; Frisone, 2021) should be considered mainly as slaves.
