In this important contribution to the field, Ilana Mountian critically analyses discourses surrounding drug addiction, treatment and prevention, and highlights new ways of understanding the role that gender plays in the ethics of drug use across cultures. The book analyses the discourses of religion, criminality and medicine, and shows how they, combined with key historical events, affect our views of drug use and drug users based on gender, race and class. The book draws on research from a show more variety of fields to provide alternative conceptual and methodological perspectives on the subject, including: Psychoanalysis Philosophy Critical theory Gender studies Post-colonial studies Drugs, Gender and the Social Imaginaryis an innovative study of drugs and addiction, and will be of great interest to students, researchers and professionals working in psychology, sociology, social work, health care, criminology, and allied disciplines. show less
