FOOD
Iwona Niewiadomska, Agnieszka Kulik, Agnieszka Hajduk
With many different functions performed by food appear irregularities from feeding. According to food it's difficult to determine clear limits between standards and pathology.
We can say that mentioned disorders don't constitute homogeneous group, and so far there is just few known so good that there are criteria of diagnosis. Analyzing problems which occur in anorexia, bulimia, obesity or intense overeating syndrome we can draw a conclusion that there exist features which fulfill criteria of functional addiction, especially dysfunctions connected with temporary or permanent behavior control.

WORK
ks. Mirosław Kalinowski, Iwona Czuma, Małgorzata Kuć, Agnieszka Kulik
Workoholism problem appeared In Poland recetly and it's connected with intensive economical development. During communism period there was work degradation occurring and any commitment in work didn't bring profits. Lack of connection between effectiveness, gratification and consumer abilities was the main factor which restrained commitment in work activity. Upon economical changes in our country the social and economical value of work increased. It was significant to have a job but also the quality of work was important. Unemployment on one hand and profusion of consumer goods which can be bought from work activity on the other are main reason why occupation is so prized by people.

Among many types of substitute form of religion we can separate public cults which are characterized by generality (a great group of recipients), low specification (big variability of customers, lack of permanent members) and variety of offers to help frustrated needs of purchasers. According to presented criteria we can classify to wide range cult such elements like superstitions, using amulets, astrology, fortune - telling, occultism, magic and unconventional medicine.

SEX
Iwona Niewiadomska, Joanna Chwaszcz, Blandyna Kołodziej, Bożena Śpila
From sex phenomenon appears the ability to recognize and react for two kinds of sexual stimuli. The first one contains stimuli which can be recognized by senses. The second one - representations, concepts and values which are important in persons life. Because of that reason there is much wider range of situations which can arouse a need of sexual activities. In contradiction to others drives, it is difficult to specify the sexual stimulus. We can be never sure what will unleash sexual tense and what will stop it.
