Women's Perspectives on Drugs and Alcohol: The Vicious Circle
Raine (Lancaster U.) contends that the cultural, social, and economic inequalities women experience are crucial to understanding their problem drinking and drug taking. The main part of the text is based upon her study of 23 women drug users and problem drinkers. She explores social evaluations of women's drinking and drug use, the chaotic elements of women's lives, their experience of control, and the influence of significant others. Also examined are the reasons that women underutilize alcohol and drug treatment services and the costs and benefits of treatment for women in residential rehabilitation. The volume is not indexed.
