This review attempts to summarize the state of knowledge and ideas concerning the antecedents of compulsive drug use. It is concerned mainly with opiate and polydrug use, excluding the more widespread use and abuse of alcohol and tobacco, except for occasional comparisons. Originally, the object was to trace the likely critical pathways, if any, to compulsive drug use and hence to come nearer to identifying in advance the compulsive user. However, the facts were disappointing. A surprisingly small proportion of the extensive literature on drug abuse has addressed the systematic study of antecedents. The developmental literature that does exist clearly demonstrates Shaffer's contention that the field of drug abuse lacks a paradigmatic theory (Gambino & Shaffer 1979; Shaffer 1977). There are widely divergent views about the nature of the problem, the critical variables for study and the appropriate research design. Research has frequently been presented without any attempt at integration with other research, either in conception of problem or interpretation of results. Though the observation made in a report to the Office of Economic Opportunity (Arthur D. Little, Inc. 1966) that in the study of opiate addiction" there is very little sense of a body of literature advancing in a coherent way" is now less true for the field as a whole, coherence is still a problem in the developmental literature (Kandel 1978). Under these circumstances, a
