“Raphael Aron has been able to penetrate and understand the minds of addicts. He provides the reader with insight into their complicated relationships and the difficulties they experience...This book should be read by all addicts, and especially by the families of still suffering and recovering addicts.”

“Despite substantial publicity and information drives by government, today’s youth still fail to grasp the insidious and destructive capacity of illicit drugs. The poignant stories contained in Raphael’s latest book, Believe should be read by every parent and concerned family member.”
Dr Alan Rembach, BSc (Hons) Monash PhD (Unimelb) Postdoctoral Research Fellow CSIRO

“Believe provides a compelling insight into the life and struggle which surrounds drug addiction as well as the effects that addiction has on the extended family. For parents and community leaders the book sheds light on one of the most pressing issues confronting young people today.”
Rabbi Mendel Kastel, CEO, The Jewish House Crisis Centre, Sydney

“This deeply compassionate, honest and wise book about addictions and the struggle to overcome them should be on every psychotherapist’s and psychiatrist’s bookshelf. And on the shelf of every addict wrestling with the difficult demons that block the arduous yet deeply meaningful road to recovery. Raphael Aron gives us an essential text on addiction by taking us inside a recovering addict’s psychotherapy.”
