Dear Anthropologists
I am studying Ethnography as part of my MSc in SSRM with the Open University. I
also intend to do an MSc in addiction research and an ethnographic study of
older addicts for my PhD. 10 years ago I began studying psychology, and during
that time I have been reading the addiction research that was available online.
With a few notable exceptions most of it was dismal. It has improved enormously
in recent years. Far more research is needed if the evidence is to be found that
would allow the problems of addiction to be tackled properly. High praise is
deserved by those scientists who do have the guts to speak out, especially when
they see UK ex-government advisor, Sir David Nutt being forced to resign for
telling the truth. It is also good to see movements like User Driven Healthcare
and Evidence Based Medicine gaining strength.
As an associate editor of a UDH online journal IJUDH, I am attempting
to assemble articles that will draw attention to the current situation. I
am putting together a dedicated issue on All Aspect of Addiction. If anyone has
anything they would like to see published on addiction research; or any aspect
of addiction please get in touch. Whether you are a scientist, therapist, or
patient with a story, either contact me Jo Kirkpatrick at: [log in to unmask]
