About
This study examines needle injection heroin addiction from a psychoanalytic, object relations lens. Using as a matrix for thought the notion of the negative, as elaborated by Andre Green, it is asserted that addiction to heroin can be more thoroughly understood than it has been in the past by examining unconscious representations of early traumatic object loss.
