| Working within the framework of Michel Foucault's writings, Geoffrey Harding has used a range of archival sources to redraw the sequence of events onwhich the responses to addiction have been based. The construction of addiction as a form of moral weakness, he argues, was specifically attributed to a late nineteenth-century Quaker -dominated anti-opium society, and derived from within Quaker doctrine and the inherent organisational qualities of this anti-opium society. He also shows that it was not until the second decade of the twentieth century, when certain medical analytical techniques were first applied to the study of compulsive opiate use, that addiction was construed as a pathological disease.
