I want especially to thank my wife, Mary, who has provided unfailingly excellent advice and continual support. Chris Fes- ler was unsparing with his assistance in organizing my web page. Others who read portions of the earlier version of this book, DSM-IV Made Easy, in one stage or another included Richard Maddock, MD, Nicholas Rosenlicht, MD, James Picano, PhD, K. H. Blacker, MD, and Irwin Feinberg, MD. I am grateful to Molly Mullikin, the perfect secretary, who contributed hours of transcription and years of intelligent service in creating the earlier version of this book. I am also profoundly indebted to the anonymous reviewers who provided input; you know who you are, even if I don’t. My editor, Kitty Moore, a keen and wonderful critic, helped develop the concept originally, and has been a mainstay of the enterprise for this new edition. I also deeply appreciate the many other editors and production people at The Guilford Press, notably Editorial Project Manager Anna Brackett, who helped shape and speed this book into print. I would single out Marie Sprayberry, who went the last mile with her thoughtful, meticulous copyediting. David Mitchell did yeoman service in reading the manuscript from cover to cover to root out errors. I am indebted to Ashley Ortiz for her intelligent criticism of my web page, and to Kyala Shea, who helped get it web borne. A number of clinicians and other professionals provided their helpful advice in the final revision process. They include Alison Beale, Ray Blanchard, PhD, Dan G. Blazer, MD, PhD, William T. Carpenter, MD, Thomas J. Crowley, MD, Darlene Elmore, Jan Fawcett, MD, Mary Ganguli, MD, Bob Krueger, PhD, Kristian E. Markon, PhD, Wil- liam Narrow, MD, Peter Papallo, MSW, MS, Charles F. Reynolds, MD, Aidan Wright, PhD, and Kenneth J. Zucker, PhD. To each of these, and to the countless patients who have provided the clinical material for this book, I am profoundly grateful. vii
