My 8-year-old girl runs away at night saying 'Nobody loves me, I'm off.' What should I do? I get overwhelmed with summer visitors. How can I dissuade them?

These are two of the problems tackled in today's programme by Jean Metcalfe with the help of Olga Franklin, journalist; Dr Wendy Greengross, marriage guidance counsellor; Dr James Hemming, educational psychologist; and Dr William Thomson, editor of The Practitioner.

This week's special guest is Zena Skinner, who gets some reassurance about her problem - an inability to relax.

Like many densely packed communities, the Colony has problems which are only too well known in the second half of the 20th century. One of these is heroin, the dragon which the addicts are all chasing.
Patricia Penn has spent many months investigating this scourge in Hong Kong, where she lives and works. She has made her programme with the full co-operation of the Hong Kong police, but it must be said that the police do not agree with all the conclusions she has drawn from the vivid evidence she has recorded.
