Why does sexuality fascinate and why do we still fear it?

What does drug addiction mean to us? This book uncovers the influences that shaped the creation and the various interpretations of addiction as a disease, and of addiction to opiates. It delves into the treatments, regimes, and prejudices that surrounded the condition, a pathological entity and a form of 'moral insanity' during the 19th-century.
