The Soviet doctor and the treatment of drug addiction: "A difficult and most ungracious task"
- Abstract
The article focuses on the development of drug treatment approaches in the Soviet Union by focusing on the struggle between social and mental hygienists and clinical psychiatrists for disciplinary power. It examines the rise and fall of various treatment methods and conceptualizations of opiate addiction in metropolitan centres. It mentions the maintenance treatment of opiate users, and outlines transformations in Soviet responses to the post-World War II opiate addiction.
