Note: The authors have worked to ensure that all information in this book is accurate at the time of publication
and consistent with general psychiatric and medical standards, and that information concerning drug dosages,
schedules, and routes of administration is accurate at the time of publication and consistent with standards set by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the general medical community. As medical research and practice con-
tinue to advance, however, therapeutic standards may change. Moreover, specific situations may require a specific
therapeutic response not included in this book. For these reasons and because human and mechanical errors some-
times occur, we recommend that readers follow the advice of physicians directly involved in their care or the care
of a member of their family.

To my wife, Bobbie,
with love and gratitude
for all you are,
all you give,
and al(cid:1)l we share together.
Perhaps the most indispensable thing we can do as human
beings, every day of our lives, is remind ourselves and others of
our complexity, fragility, finiteness and uniqueness.
