En la actualidad se tiene la percepción de que la política preventiva en materia de drogas es algo relativamente reciente. Sin embargo, entre 1926 y 1931 existió en Barcelona la Asociación contra la Toxicomanía, pionera en reivindicar la prevención desde el ámbito privado, aunque estrechamente vinculada a los poderes públicos. Así como muchos profesionales que hoy intervienen en drogodependencias se lamentan de que los medios de comunicación no dispensan suficiente atención a su trabajo, los responsables de esta asociación nunca manifestaron quejas en este sentido. La existencia la Asociación contra la Toxicomanía, cuya composición, trayectoria y logros se exponen en este artículo, puede constituir una invitación para abordar un estudio de perspectiva comparada con alguna de las asociaciones existentes actualmente.
Absctract
At present we have the perception that the preventive policies on drugs issues are something relatively recent. Nevertheless, between 1926 and 1931, Barcelona had the Asociación contra la Toxicomanía (Association against Drug Addiction) which was a pioneer in claiming the prevention from the private area background though narrowly linked to the public power.
Although many professionals today dealing with addictions complain that the mass media do no pay enough attention to their work, the people in charge of this association never complained about this matter.
The existence of the Asociación contra la Toxicomanía (Association against Drug Addiction), whose composition, history and achievements are presented in this article, may constitute an invitation to approach a reserch of perspective compared to some of the existing associations nowadays.
