Abstract     The research focused on the interpersonal relatedness of drug addicted people. It is based on the theory of object relations. With the help of the Test of Object Relations, the author investigated the differences in object relations between two groups: a group of 90 persons addicted to opioids and participants in a methadone maintenance program and a group of 90 persons who were not addicted. The groups were equated by gender, age, and level of education. Significant differences were found between the groups. Persons addicted to opioids showed more symbiotic merging, separation anxiety, grandiosity and omnipotence, egocentricity, fear of engulfment, and more social isolation. On the basis of the results, the author concluded that persons addicted to opioids have more disturbed object relations in comparison with persons who are not addicted. The research not only clarifies some theoretical assumptions but also has important applicative value. The author explains the applicability of his research to the psychotherapy of drug addiction.
Summary     Raziskava se usmerja na značilnosti medosebnih odnosov oseb, ki so odvisne od drog. Izhaja iz teorije objektnih odnosov. S pomočjo Testa objektnih odnosov avtor ugotavlja razlike v objektnih odnosih med dvema skupinama: skupino 90 oseb, odvisnih od opioidov, ki so vključene v metadonski vzdrževalni program, ter skupino 90 oseb, ki niso odvisne. Skupini sta bili izenačeni po spolu, starosti in izobrazbi. Med skupinama obstajajo pomembne razlike. Za osebe, odvisne od drog, so značilni večje simbiotično zlivanje v odnosih, večja separacijska anksioznost, grandioznost in omnipotentnost, egocentrizem, strah pred požrtjem ter socialna izolacija. Na osnovi rezultatov avtor ugotavlja, da so za osebe, odvisne od drog, v primerjavi z osebami, ki niso odvisne, značilni bolj moteni objektni odnosi. Raziskava ima pomembno aplikativno vrednost. Avtor še posebej pojasni uporabnost raziskave pri psihoterapiji odvisnosti od drog.
