Two Worlds of Drug Consumption in Late Modern Societies reports the findings of an empirical study of drug users in London, Amsterdam, Turin, Prague, Vienna and Warsaw, European cities representative of a wide range of drug problems and public policies. The innovative study reconceives the standard distinctions between 'hard-core' and 'recreational' drug users in terms of their social position. The authors argue that this is closely related to consumption patterns rather than drug choice, and reveals that 2 relatively homogenous drug worlds exist within each of the study sites. This leads to the development of diverging drug markets; a friendly market for the integrated consumer, and a highly commercialized one for the marginalized customer, where low quality goods are sold at a higher price. These findings have significant implications for academics and professionals working in health, psychology and urban studies.

Die Entwicklung in der Behandlung suchtkranker Personen in Österreich und die Rolle des Anton Proksch-Institutes in Wien-Kalksburg dabei werden ausführlich dargestellt. Das multiprofessionelle Kalksburger Modell beruht auf dem Zusammenspiel von verschiedenen Behandlungsmethoden und rehabilitativen Maßnahmen. Die Arbeitsbereiche der verschiedenen Professionen – medizinische Berufe, Psychologen, Psychotherapeuten und Sozialarbeiter – werden von Vertretern der jeweiligen Berufsgruppe beschrieben. Außerdem werden die aktuellen Schwerpunkte einer regen Forschungsaktivität am Anton Proksch-Institut vorgestellt und in ihrer Beziehung zum Behandlungsangebot diskutiert. In diesem Kontext wird auch die Entwicklung der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit am Ludwig Boltzmann-Institut für Suchtforschung – einer dem Anton Proksch-Institut angegliederten Forschungseinrichtung – nachgezeichnet.
