Resumen

Múltiples principios de condicionamiento clásico y operante interaccionan en la adición a la heroína. Destacan la presencia de RC Compensatorias en forma de Síndrome de Abstinencia Condicionado (SAC) y distintos programas de reforzamiento en el estilo de vida, argot y efectos de la heroína. En evaluación conductual se estudian los correlatos subjetivos y psicofisiológicos del SAC; la validez externa de los autorregistros se logra mediante análisis de orina. En terapia de conducta los programas de amplio espectro se combinan con la intervención comunitaria y apoyo médico. A nivel metodológico se resalta la necesidad de usar múltiples criterios de medición, introducción del análisis multivariado y uso de diseños estadísticos, realización de seguimientos a largo plazo.

Summary

Multiple principles of classical conditioning and operant behavior interact in the addiction to heroin.

Among these, the presence of conditioned compensatory response stands out, in the form of conditioned abstinence syndrome. Different schedules of reinforcement determine life style, Lang, effect of heroin, etc.

At the level of behavior assessment most emphasis has been placed on the subjective and psychophisiological respom.es associated with conditioned abstinence syndrome.

The external validity of se!f-monitoring is achieved by urine analysis; at the level of behavior therapy wide spectrum programmes have been developed which combine comunity intervention with medical support.

Methodologically, the need to use multiple criteria of measurement is important, as is the introduction of multivariaded analisis, the used of statistical design, and finally, the carryng-out of long term follow-up studies.
