This book explores the emotional worlds of white working class men
and why they self medicate using heroin, alcohol, crack and
amphetamines. It drawn on the therapeutic work that the author
undertook in Deptford South East London over a fifteen year period
and highlights how familial, institutional, cultural and historical
violence has shaped white working class masculinities in terms of
love and violence. The book transcends current research paradigms
drawing on relational theory to move beyond the 'front' presented
in current social research to look at what emotions have been
masked and kept secret. The book then highlights the failure of
current stratgies to engage with the defined problem by taking the
presenting masculine 'front' as an issue to be resolved through
discipline The research draws on Alice Miller, Gitta Sereny, Klaus
Thewelait, Jim Gilligan, Deleuze and Guattari to open up new ways
of conceptualising violence and addiction relevant to social
science researchers, criminologists, psychologists, gender studies
as well as the general public.
