Examines factors involved in solvent abuse and is based on
research by the author in the Strathclyde region to assess the
characteristics of abuse and abusers. Describes how solvent abuse
was first recognised as a problem and how it follows in a long
tradition of man's experimentation with mind altering drugs.
Looks at the health consequences, experiences and views of
parents, treatment responses, and community and Government
action. References.
