QUOTATIONS

Duke of Westminster “...your book can only open people’s eyes to this devastating problem and reflects the hopelessness that seems to accompany the misuse of drugs, not only for the victim but their family and friends.”

Drug Action Team Co-ordinator “...The frustration and anger you describe, as a consequence of ‘professional attitudes’ is entirely warranted. I will certainly commend your book to my Local Drug Reference Groups. In my opinion, it is an essential item of pre-reading material for anyone undertaking training or about to embark on a career in the caring professions.”

Teacher “...some excellent drama work has been arrived at from the exploration of Crackhead. It has given the students a real insight in the dangers of tampering with drugs; highlighting not only the personal effects of drug-taking, but also the ripple effect it has on family and friends. It has been extremely well received by parents and pupils alike.”

The Express Newspaper “...While politicians pontificate about ‘the drugs problem’ the rest of us have to cope with the reality. Angela Harrison, whose daughter Jamie is addicted to heroin and crack, describes how drugs have affected three generations of her family.

Community Care Magazine (Social Services) “...Crackhead is a valuable addition to the small number of books written for service users and carers.

Health Visitor “...I found Crackhead a fascinating read. After twenty years as a midwife and fourteen years in the community, it helped to clarify a lot of my experiences. It gave an excellent insight as to how the mind of the drug abuser functions and how focussed they are on obtaining their habit.”
