Drugs, Overview

Mountian, Ilana

Abstract

Debates around drugs and drug use are of crucial importance for critical psychology. While most debates are centered on pharmacological, medical, and criminological fields, the debates incorporate central issues for critical psychology, as well as for sociology, anthropology, economics, anti-psychiatry, studies on gender, sexuality, race and class, and every other aspect of the biopolitical economy.
