WIP notes on Stress and Abuse, based on integrating cycles of alienation, emotional regulation in brain development, addiction, and violence/abuse, inspired by harry burns keynote video on Glasgow alienation due to housing estates. Peggy Thoits 2010 Stress and Health article added
An Addiction structure is the same as the Shifting the Burden structure though with the annoying aspect that one becomes addicted to the side effect ensuring that Fundamental Solution won't get implemented and the Symptomatic Solution will be applied repeatedly, and likely with greater frequency. See also Archetypes.
COM-B model of behaviour change from Michie 2011 Implementation Science article Structure agency IM-1163 added for social context. Integration with other behaviour frameworks WIP initial now focussed on nested representation. Attempt at combining simulations WIP is at IM-35784
This models the progressive decline of the ability for self-reliance and the growing dependence on outside help. Z508 p39-42 System Zoo 3 by Hartmut Bossel. Strong outside help causes a collapse of self-help capacity. Weak outside help produces a stable combination of wellbeing and self-help capacity.
The following is a cross between the Lotka-Volterra Predator-Prey model from the Insight Maker manual (https://insightmaker.com/node/3801) where the Moose represent problem symptoms, the Wolves represent temporary solution, and the addiction loop from Gene Bellinger's Addiction Archetype (https://insightmaker.com/insight/25461/Addiction-Archetype) is added.

An Addiction structure is the same as the Shifting the Burden structure though with the annoying aspect that one becomes addicted to the side effect ensuring that Fundamental Solution won't get implemented and the Symptomatic Solution will be applied repeatedly, and likely with greater frequency. There is a also a video for this insight which is a component of the Systems Thinking World Kumu e-Learning Environment.
Out of Control is one of the four generic archetypes developed by Eric Wolstenholme and maps to the Fixes that Fail, Accidental Adversaries, Shifting the Burden and Addiction Systems Archetypes.
Several scientific studies have shown that a
regime of regular exercise can help drug addicts in fighting their addiction.
This simple CLD tries to illustrate the
positive social and physical dynamic that sports activity can generate that may
be beneficial in this process. There are also other positive effects of physical
exercise that I have not shown. Sports activity can help increase dopamine levels,
which may improve the mood of those fighting drug addiction and prompt them to stick to their regime of
exercises.
