Abstract

The etymology of the word recidivism is explored as is its use in the psychiatric literature and other areas. This paper revisits a proposal to stop using the word to describe hospital readmission and substance use relapse since the origin of the word and predominant meaning reflect crime and acts that offend society. Public policy makers and leaders should be careful to not misuse the word and unwittingly stigmatize persons with mental illness and substance use disorders.

摘要

本文探讨了“累犯”一词的词源，以及它在精神病学文献和其他领域中的使用情况。本文重新审视了一项提议，即停止使用该词来描述医院再入院和药物使用复发的情况，因为该词的起源和主要含义反映的是犯罪和冒犯社会的行为。公共政策制定者和领导人应谨慎行事，避免滥用该词，无意之中给患有精神疾病和药物使用障碍的人贴上污名标签。
