Confronting the Drug Control Establishment - Alfred Lindesmith as a Public Intellectual (Hardcover)

In biographical essays dedicated to addicts, Keys (political science, West Texas A&M U.) and Galliher (sociology, U. of Missouri) focus more on the drug expert's career than personal life (1905-) though a few photos are included. Influenced by the Chicago School of Sociology, Lindesmith is best known for his theory of Opiate Addiction (1947) and drug policy reform stand for treating addicts as ill rather than as criminals (The Addict and the Law, 1965). Appends a bibliography of Lindesmith's writings, a summary of his unpublished papers, and statistics on his citations in the Social Sciences Citation Index (1966-94).
