My long friendships with local colleagues, as well as many members of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychiatry, have been a primary source of support and encouragement, for which I am grateful to all. I wish to acknowledge with many thanks the invaluable help and effort in the preparation of this book from my assistant of many years, Ms. Elizabeth Grudzien. Finally, none of my work and efforts to contribute to our field would have been possible without the love and patience of my wife Marcia, who has selflessly provided me with over fifty years of marital happiness, for which I am gratefully appreciative and thankful beyond measure. xv Acknowledgments ...
