The Making of Addiction: The 'Use and Abuse' of Opium in Nineteenth-Century Britain
Louise Foxcroft
What does drug addiction mean to us? This book uncovers the influences that shaped the creation and the various interpretations of addiction as a disease, and of addiction to opiates. It delves into the treatments, regimes, and prejudices that surrounded the condition, a pathological entity and a form of 'moral insanity' during the 19th-century.
