Irish drug abusers III: a psycho-social typology.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is the final article in a series based on a study of a cohort of Irish drug abusers. Previous papers dealt with the overall social (Carr et al., 1980) and psychological (Carr et al., 1981) characteristics of the cohort. While certain general trends were identified, perhaps the most striking feature of the data was the variability that exists between subjects. In the present paper this variability will be explored and a psycho-social typology of drug abusers presented.

The problem of drug abuse among adolescents in Ireland is a serious and a growing one, according to the reports of the Government Working Party (1971) and of a Churches Working Party on the abuse of drugs (1972).
