Stations of the lost;: The treatment of skid row alcoholics - Softcover
A very revealing, indeed startling, account of the profoundly different way in which Skid Row alcoholics and agents of institutions view the situations in which they encounter each other. We note the standoff character of their relations, the wide difference between how each group views itself and how it is viewed by the other, and the hollow ring that is given to the acts of each toward the other. To expect genuine corrective or therapeutic results from the encounters is to draw a fictitious veil over reality.
