The Society for the Study of Addiction started
publishing its Proceedings in 1884. With various changes of
name these have transformed into the journal now called Addiction.
The very first volume begins with an inaugural address by
Dr Norman Kerr on the nature of 'inebriety' a term which has
given way to 'addiction'. He calls it "a diseased state
of the brain and nervous centres characterised by an irresistible
impulse to indulge in intoxicating liquors or other narcotics
for the relief which these afford at any peril. This ungovernable,
uncontrollable, overpowering impulse may hurry on the diseased
dipsomaniac to his destruction even when he has no relish
for the toxic agent but on the contrary loathes and detests
it".
While some may baulk at the term 'disease',
use of terms such as 'uncontrollable' and the focus on alcohol
and narcotics, it is remarkable how the essence of this definition
has stood the test of time and how well it still captures
the behaviour and phenomenology of the problem. The early
Society Proceedings have now been digitised from library holdings
at the Royal Society of Medicine in London and are freely
available to members. I very much hope that members of the
society will be inclined to dip into this wonderful resource
and not be too discouraged when they realise that many of
the ideas that we think of as inventions of our generation
are not as novel as we thought.
Professor Robert West
Editor-in-Chief 'Addiction'
April 2006
