Résumé
Maté describes his patients while looking to the root causes of addiction, applying a clinical and psychological view to the physical manifestation and offering some answers for why people inflict such catastrophe on themselves. He takes aim at the ineffectual… War on Drugs, and shows how measures such as safe injection sites are more successful at reducing drug-related crime and the spread of disease than anything most governments are doing. 2008.
