| Sumario: | Ana Isabel's 'A Question of Will: Addiction Treatment in Ecuador' explores the complexities of addiction treatment within Ecuador's socio-political context. The book examines the shift in policies from criminalizing drug use to treating addiction as a public health issue, following Ecuador's 2008 constitutional changes. It delves into the roles of various institutions, including public clinics and the Ministry of Public Health, in addressing addiction. The narrative is enriched with ethnographic research conducted at a public addiction treatment center, offering insights into patients' experiences and therapeutic processes. This work is intended for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and those interested in drug policy reform.
