Le parcours antifasciste du Parti communiste de Yougoslavie a ete une importante source d’inspiration pour la gauche mondiale dans la seconde moitie du XXe siecle. Pour l’essentiel de la gauche non stalinienne, la tactique du Front populaire est une forme « defensive » et « opportuniste » de collaboration des ouvrier·eres et des paysan·es avec la bourgeoisie, qui a produit un fiasco en France et en Espagne. Pourtant, le Front populaire a connu de multiples incarnations divergentes. En Yougoslavie, cette strategie d’alliance a permis au parti communiste dirige par Josip Broz Tito de jouer un role de premier plan au sein de la coalition avec la bourgeoisie, assurant le controle du mouvement antifasciste et l’orientant vers une politique anticapitaliste revolutionnaire. Cette reussite repose en partie sur un contexte specifique a la Yougoslavie ; elle montre neanmoins les perspectives qu’ouvre une orientation offensive de la strategie de Front populaire.

Introduction. Alcohol is most abused psychoactive substance among youth. Analyzing attitudes on alcohol, patterns and consequences we are getting inputs important for implementing evidence based preventive measures. Objective. The aim of this study was to analyze drinking patterns and expectations and alcohol risk perception by gender and region and determine correlation between attitudes and one year prevalence of drinking. Methods. The study used data from the European School Survey on Alcohol and Other Drugs, which was then conducted in 2008 in Serbia on a sample of 6,553 students aged 16 years. For data analysis descriptive and analytical statistic were used. Results. The results show that nine out of ten students have had at least one alcoholic beverage during life and 5% have at least one alcohol beverage on more than 20 occasions during the last month. Students in Serbia have mainly positive expectations from alcohol, and the strongest potential drinking predictors in the previous year are expectation of having fun and the wish to feel relaxed. According to the participants, drinking 4-5 drinks on weekends (34.6%) is less risky than trying cannabis (52.0%). Boys have experienced problems caused by alcohol drinking more often than girls, while students from Vojvodina have performed badly in school in higher percentage than students from Belgrade and Central Serbia. Conclusion. In Serbia, girls drink less and perceive drinking as more risky in comparison to boys, while 16-year-old students from Vojvodina have more positive expectations but also more prominent problems caused by alcohol drinking. Additional education of the young on alcohol risk is recommended.

Pathological gambling was classified under impulse control disorders within the International Classification of Diseases (ICD- 10) (WHO 1992), but the most recent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 5th edition (DSM-V), (APA 2013), has recognized pathological gambling as a first disorder within a new diagnostic category of behavioral addictions - Gambling disorder. Pathological gambling is a disorder in progression, and we hope that our experience in the treatment of pathological gambling in the Daily Hospital for Addictions at The Institute of Mental Health, through the original "Integrative – systemic model" would be of use to colleagues, dealing with this pathology. This model of treatment of pathological gambling is based on multi-systemic approach and it primarily represents an integration of family and cognitive-behavioral therapy, with traces of psychodynamic, existential and pharmacotherapy. The model is based on the book "Pathological gambling - with self-help manual" by Dr Mladenovic and Dr Lazetic, and has been designed in the form of a program that lasts 10 weeks in the intensive phase, and then continues for two years in the form of “extended treatment” (“After care”). The intensive phase is divided into three segments: educational, insight with initial changes and analysis of the achieved changes with the definition of plans and areas that need to be addressed in the extended treatment. “Extended treatment” lasts for two years in the form of group therapy, during which there is a second order change of the identified patient, but also of other family members. Pathological gambling has been treated in the form of systemic-family therapy for more than 10 years at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), in Belgrade. For second year in a row the treatment is carried out by the modern "Integrative-systemic model". If abstinence from gambling witihin the period of one year after completion of the intensive phase of treatment is taken as the main criterion of the effectiveness of our model, at this time it exceeds 90%. Given the relatively short period of application, it is necessary to continue to monitor and evaluate the model after 5 years.

Autor u članku dekonstruira logiku i posljedice “strukturnog prilagođavanja” zakonima tržišta i profita u Srbiji od 1960-ih godina do danas. Rad se sastoji od tri sistemska dijela. U prvome se obrađuje razdoblje od 1965. do 1991. Pokazuje se da se korijeni kapitalističke restauracije mogu naći u privrednim reformama provedenim još u okviru nominalnog socijalizma kojima se otvara put slobodnijem djelovanju tržišnih mehanizama. Drugi dio rada posvećen je tzv. “miloševićevskoj” epohi (od 1991. do 2001.) u kojoj je, pod okriljem degeneriranog političkog kapitalizma i u “blokiranom kontekstu”, ubrzano nastavljeno s procesom “strukturnog prilagođavanja” u korist kontinuističke nomenklature bivših kolektivnih vlasnika, ili nove klase u nastajanju: lumpenburžoazije. U trećem dijelu analizira se neoliberalni period nakon “demokratskih” promjena 2001. i karakter njemu svojstvenog kompradorskog političkog kapitalizma s kojim se ulazi u završnu fazu “strukturnog prilagođavanja” i redistribucije bogatstva ka višim klasama. Na temelju rezultata analize autor zaključuje da je proces decenijskog razaranja društva u Srbiji bio interesno, odnosno klasno uvjetovan., The author is deconstructing the logics and the consequences of “structural adaptation” to the laws of the market and profit in Serbia from the 1960s until today. The paper consists of three systematic parts. The first one is a description of the period from 1965 to 1991. It is shown that the roots of capitalist restoration can be found in economical reforms undertaken within nominal socialism, which opened the way for a more free action of the market mechanisms. The second part of the paper is dedicated to the so-called “Milošević period” (1991 – 2001) during which, under the auspices of degenerated political capitalism and in a blocked context, the process of structural adaptation continues, in favour of the continuative nomenclature of the former collective owners, or the new class of lumpenbourgeoisie in formation. The third part is an analysis of the neoliberal period after the “democratic” changes in 2001 and the character of its own comprador political capitalism, which enters the final phase of the structural adaptation and redistribution of wealth towards the higher classes. Based on the results of the analysis, the author concludes that the process of a decade of destruction of Serbian society was conditioned by an agenda, i.e. it was conditioned by class interests.

Introduction. Alcoholism could represent an important factor of crime and different forms of abuse of family members (physical and emotional) exist in many alcohol-addict cases, as well as characteristics of immoral behaviour. Objective. The objective of our study was to determine the predominating forms in moral judgment of alcohol addicts, and to examine whether there was any statistically significant difference in moral judgment between alcohol addicted persons and non-alcoholics from general population. Methods. The sample consisted of 62 subjects, divided into a study (alcoholics) and a control group (non-alcoholics from general population). The following instruments were used: social-demographic data, AUDIT, MMPI-201, cybernetic battery of IQ tests (KOG-3) and the TMR moral reasoning test. Results. Mature forms of moral judgment prevailed in both group of subjects, alcohol addicted persons and non-alcoholics. Regarding mature forms of moral judgment (driven by emotions and cognitive) non-alcoholics from the general population had higher scores, but the difference was not statistically significant. Regarding socially adapted and egocentric orientation alcohol addicted persons had higher scores. However, only regarding intuitive-irrational orientation there was a statistically significant difference in the level of moral judgment (p
