    Description

    Shipra Publications Drug Abuse by Rashmi Agrawal

    Book Summary of Drug Abuse : Socio-psychological Perspectives And Intervention StrategiesDrug Abuse has acquired transnational dimensions. It is also a billion- dollar industry. While some governments connive at their territory being used as a drug supplier or for transit, others find themselves helpless against politically and financially strong mafias. The book analyses the problems that arise as drugs gain social acceptability. While discussing the individual and social damage being caused by the use of drugs, the book suggests preventive measures and also therapeutic strategies. The book is based on the author's experiences in India, European countries and USA. There are case profiles from India and conclusions drawn from these investigations. The focus all through is on the psychological aspects of the problem while equal importance has been given to the social dimensions. It has a special relevance for those who want to come out of the drugs trap through self effort aided by other institutional supports.Table of Contents :Introduction . Drug Menace- The Indian Scene.
