Their time, effort, and willingness to work with me on the interviews, and make this book possible, are much appreciated—especially considering the leaders’ demanding sched- ules and workload. The dedication, commitment, and experience of these leaders, and so many others working in the field, are too easily overlooked or slighted. I hope this book brings some recognition and honor to those quali- ties—and the people who have demonstrated them. I am also deeply grateful to the many behind the scenes who supported the book project and patiently persisted with the labors it entailed. Victor Garcia, Director of the Mid-Atlantic Addiction Training Institute at Indiana Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, helped to recruit and supervise student staff to transcribe the interviews. Hortencia Correa, Guadalupe Ortiz-Cortez, and Nancy Lopez Sosa did the extensive transcriptions. Lisa McCann and Galen Goldsmith as- sisted with the later interviews and incorporating my edits. This has been a collaborative effort that invigorated and stirred me. The trust and openness of the interviewees made for an enriching window on the work against the scourge of domestic violence and also revealed the self-ex- amination and awareness that go into it. I’m encouraged, too, by the support and help from the team who so readily and willingly offered to help bring the project to fruition. We all hope that the final product will reinforce especially the ongoing work with men and ultimately advance the field in general. ix
