Romancing Opiates: Pharmacological Lies and the Addiction Bureaucracy
Theodore Dalrymple
Shows that doctors, psychologists and social workers, all of them uncritically accepting addicts' descriptions of addiction, have employed literary myths in constructing an equal and opposite myth of quasi-treatment. This work also shows that addiction is not a disease, but a response to personal and existential problems.
