White Drug Cultures and Regulation in London, 1916–1960
Author: Christopher HallamPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319947702
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
This book traces the history of the London ‘white drugs’ (opiate and cocaine) subculture from the First World War to the end of the classic ‘British System’ of drug prescribing in the 1960s. It also examines the regulatory forces that tried to suppress non-medical drug use, in both their medical and juridical forms. Drugs subcultures were previously thought to have begun as part of the post-war youth culture, but in fact they existed from at least the 1930s. In this book, two networks of drug users are explored, one emerging from the disaffected youth of the aristocracy, the other from the night-time economy of London’s West End. Their drug use was caught up in a kind of dance whose steps represented cultural conflicts over identity and the modernism and Victorianism that coexisted in interwar Britain.

A comprehensive encyclopedia on all aspects of the production, consumption, and social impact of alcohol.

Other entries describe international treaties and organizations related to alcohol production and distribution, global consumption patterns, and research and treatment institutions, as well as temperance, prohibition, and antiprohibitionist efforts worldwide.
A Guide to Addiction and Its Treatment
Author: M.M. GlattPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401158991
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
The field of Addiction Studies is often one in which highly specialized investigations in narrowly defined areas of concern, provide results which are not immediately or easily transferable to the practical problems faced in society. The collected work of many specialists is frequently too 'specialized' for successful presentation to a wider audience. Against such a background, Dr Max Glatt has emerged clearly as one of the better authorities on alcohol and drug problems in the world. His 'specialities' cover an extremely broad range of disciplines, approaches and interests. When Dr Glatt writes, he does so with a brilliant command of the larger picture, the overall impact of alcohol and drug problems in society and the complexities, human and social, inherent in the development of addiction, its treatment and prevention. 'A Guide to Addiction and Its Treatment' provides further testimony on Dr Glatt's skill in weaving together the infinite number of threads on the subject area. This new volume is a most valuable resource which is sure to become required reading for all those with an interest in comprehensive approaches to this vital health and social problem. Throughout the book, Dr Glatt strongly emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary approaches to addiction and shows clearly why such a coordinated view is necessary if societies are to respond adequately to the escalating health problems associated with the ever-increasing use and misuse of drugs.
