Introduction

In the following some of major changes that have taken place in the addiction field over the last decades will be listed. Many of these changes have resulted from the normal sequence of fact finding, through information and advocacy towards actual changes in policies and practices. At the time when Ambros Uchtenhagen is handing over the management of the ISF to Jürgen Rehm it is appropriate to review his role in science and policy in the addiction field.
