Verslawingsparadigmas en implikasies vir hulp : 'n pastorale studie

Abstract

"Verslawingsparadigmas en die Implikasies vir Hulpverlening - 'n Pastorale Studie" is a doctoral dissertation which looks at different addiction paradigms and how each of these paradigms have implications for the type of care that will be given to people with addictions. The study was done in line with classical Reformed theology. Biblical perspectives were formulated as. a measuring tool for judging addiction paradigms and methods of caring for people with additions. A few texts on drunkenness in the Bible were researched exegetically and according to the revelation history. Literature study as well as a study of Scriptures were done on Biblical and non-Biblical addiction paradigms and methods of care. The information gathered in previous chapters, the literature study as well as the study of Scriptures were consolidated to develop a method of care to ensure that people with addictions and their loved ones are helped in a profound, Scripture-based way.
