The Politics of Addiction

Medical Conflict and Drug Dependence in England Since the 1960s

Beschreibung

The Politics of Addiction examines power and policy-making in the context of a bitter conflict between private and publicly employed doctors treating addiction. Regulation was used by both the profession and the state to shape the treatment of addiction and who could provide it, with the media feeding into the process.
