Abstract

The varying life-styles of narcotic addicts in Baltimore during the first decade of their addictive careers are examined with respect to the following: (1) periods of addiction, (2) transitions from addiction, (3) periods of nonaddiction. Emphasis is upon the relationship between aspects of the life-styles and the characterization of addicts according to a typology based on the concepts of opportunity and motivation to use narcotics. What emerges is a general hypothesis linking social class, associated competencies, and pattern of addiction.

摘要

本文研究了巴尔的摩市吸毒成瘾者在成瘾生涯的第一个十年中的不同生活方式，具体涉及以下方面：（1）成瘾期；（2）从成瘾状态的转变；（3）非成瘾期。重点关注生活方式各方面与根据基于使用毒品的机会和动机概念的类型学对成瘾者进行的特征描述之间的关系。由此得出一个将社会阶层、相关能力和成瘾模式联系起来的一般假设。
