Description

Explore the historical origins of how society understands drug addiction. While addiction is a commonly understood concept in modern life, its definitions have shifted significantly over time. This book investigates the original influences that shaped the creation of addiction as a medical concept, focusing specifically on the use and abuse of opiates in nineteenth-century Britain. Readers will examine how addiction was viewed as a newly emerging pathological entity and a form of moral insanity during the 1800s. The text examines the various interpretations of the condition, including the specific treatments, medical regimes, and social prejudices that surrounded those affected by opiate use. This work provides a deep look into the history of medicine, helping you understand how historical perceptions of substance use connect to our modern views of the disease.
