211 I am enormously indebted and grateful to my two good friends
1 Gillian Russell and Rob Abbot for their comments on drafts of the
2 book and help in editing, and to Gillian also for her proof-reading
3 (and I acknowledge any peculiar turns of grammar as my own).
4 I am also very grateful to Anne Tynedale, Richard Carvalho, Bob
5 Withers, and Fiona Ross for their very helpful observations and
6 comments on previous drafts of the book. I would also like to thank
7 James Astor, Anna Bravesmith, Joe Cambray, Warren Colman,
8 Elizabeth Gee, Jean Knox, Joe Redfearn, Elizabeth Urban, and
9 Barbara Wharton, who have helped with or commented upon pre-
30 vious papers, drafts of papers, or talks which have become incor-
1 porated into the book. This list could also be considerably
2 expanded to include those who have made interesting and helpful
3 comments at the presentation of those papers and talks. The dia-
4 logue has always been tremendously helpful and I am extremely
5 grateful to all of the above, although, of course, I take full respon-
6 sibility for the views expressed herein and any associated errors.
7 Finally, I am grateful to my patients and, in particular, those who
8 have given their permission for me to write about our work
911 together here.
