« Jean Bergeret ose affirmer que la toxicomanie n'existe pas, qu'il s'agit de la fabrication d'un mythe dangereux pour soi-même et pour autrui ; par des exemples clairs et concrets, dans une langue vivante et admirablement simple, il nous explique que ce qui est important, ce n'est pas le symptôme mais les causes qui ont engendré l'apparition du symptôme : causes sociales, économiques bien sûr, mais surtout causes qui se situent dans l'individualité de chaque sujet » Docteur Claude OlivensteinPsychiatre, psychanalyste, professeur à l'université de Lyon-2, Jean Bergeret est spécialiste des problèmes liés à la pharmacodépendance.
