The personality of the individuals who use a variety of sub
stances, singly or in combination, which are legal or illegal in
status, for non-medical reasons, has been of interest and concern
to a variety of intervention agents and groups for many decades.
Indeed, a review of the literature leads to the conclusion that
this interest has in no way waned. More and more articles and books
are written, and more and more research is planned and carried out,
which are designed to describe the personality of the
knOWll-yisible drug user(s). If anything this interest has
broadened to include the spouse of the drug user, his or her
parents, and at times the child of the drug user. In simplistic
terms the thesis is posited or hinted at, that a specific type of
individual will use "drugs" in a socio-cultural un acceptable
manner. And the critical factor which is pinpointed to explain this
type of drug use is the personality/character-traits of the
individual, alone or in combination with other factors. These
latter factors can include, among others, the primary and secondary
effects of drugs, the meaning attributed to the manner of using
drugs (oral, intravenous, intramuscular, sniffing, smoking, etc., )
as well as to the drug experience, the external environment, gen
etics, drug availability, individual and group coping skills; as
well as socio-political-economic factors."
