Description

From the 1960s, conflict emerged in the medical profession regarding the role of private doctors in prescribing opiates and other drugs to patients. Were they simply licensed drug dealers or instead providing a treatment neglected by the public sector? The Politics of Addiction provides a balanced explanation of this conflict, its origins and outcomes.
