Description:
Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 2001. Softcover. Fine. Fine. Softcover. 326 pp (bibliography & index). An original interpretation of the social shift from upper-class opiate misuse to a crisis among lower-class urban males. Courtwright argues that the shift resulted from medical malpractice, rather than simply harsh new laws. He reviews heroin abuse and treatment since 1940 from medical and legal standpoints, as well as from the perspective of addicts themselves.
