摘要
There is general agreement that the term 'craving' requires clarification. This present report presents a pilot study in which groups of opiate addicts and cigarette smokers completed a brief rating scale to describe the frequency and intensity with which they had certain feelings while craving for their own drug of dependence. Craving was reported as being a dysphoric state and opiate addicts described more frequent and more intense dysphoric feelings while craving. Despite the differences in mean scores there were some similarities in the overall profile of scores in the two groups. Implications of these findings are discussed. © 1990.
