This is the story of a group of men who called themselves ""heroin-coffin"". It is their story of ascension from the styxian shore of heroin addiction to a new-found heaven in a Christian brotherhood. The research study which gives rise to this story is that of social sciences, in particular, social work and psychology, which immediately raises the question of the apparent antagonism between science and religion. Can religious faith be studied from a scientific viewpoint? Is scientific skepticism not spiritually destructive in its demand for objectivity, quantification and repeatability? At one stage, scientific communication has been deliberately made devoid of human passion, the longings and despairs of the human condition. However, a research orientation which opens up avenues to reconcile the antagonisms is found in George Kelly's Personal Construct Theory (1955), which also offers a theoretical framework for understanding drug addiction and drug rehabilitation.
