The personal files and notes from Alfred Lindesmith's only excursion into the field (1935-1937) give a particularly informative view of addiction and addict mythmaking about opiates and opiate addiction. Lindesmith's work, overseen by Herbert Blumer, was the first empirical validation of the symbolic interactionist perspective and produced a theory of opiate addiction that is still respected and used by sociologists, psychologists, and substance abuse experts. The theory itself produced its own mythmaking in the attempts of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics to refute and suppress Lindesmith's work and in the construction of its own euphoria mythology of addiction, addicts, and Lindesmith. |
