No presente traballo analízase o caso dun paciente que ó longo de máis de 30 anos acudiu a distintos tratamentos, especialmente polos seus trastornos aditivos, cambiando unha substancia por outra ó longo do tempo e sufrindo repetidas recaídas. Presenta un perfil de personalidade tipicamente relacionado coas adiccións, con impulsividade, busca de sensacións e falta de autocontrol, así como comportamentos rechamantes, con busca de atención e dramatismo que farían pensar noutros trastornos de personalidade, aínda que sobre todo destaca unha vida sexual complicada, con prostitución e dano continuado. En terapia revélase a existencia de abuso sexual infantil, o que permite axudar a entender os seus comportamentos e a que o paciente tamén os comprenda, podendo elaborar o trauma e reducindo o dano.
This paper discusses the case of a patient who has come throughout more than 30 years to different treatments, especially for his addictive disorder, sifting from a substance to another over the years, and having successive relapses. His personality profile is related to addictions, with impulsiveness, sensations seeking and lack of selfcontrol, as well as striking behaviour, with search of attention and drama that would think about personality disorders, although mostly emphasizes especially stands out a sexual complicated life, with prostitution and continued damage. The revelation in therapy of being sexually abused when child allows us and the patient himself to understand some behaviours, and being able to cope with the trauma and reduce the damage.
