Irish drug abusers III: A psychosocial typology

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.
