I would like to express my gratitude to my colleagues and fellow
1
analysts at the William Alanson White Institute for fostering the col-
2
legial atmosphere and intellectual stimulation that makes a project
3
like this possible. As a group they have continued to provide me
4
with an intellectual home in which I have been fortunate to have
5
had the opportunity to play creatively with new ideas and pro-
6
grammes. I am especially thankful to those who gave me my ana-
7
lytic upbringing: my analyst, my supervisors, and my teachers.
8
In particular, I want to thank the following at the William
9
Alanson White Institute: Joerg Bose, MD, Director, for his belief and
30
support; Sondra Wilk, PhD, Director of Administration, for her
1
unconditional dedication and willingness to be the unseen glue for
2
3 so much of what is needed behind the scenes for this project and
4 many others to come to fruition; David Russek, MD, for sponsoring
5 the conference at Mt Sinai Medical Centre; the Board of Trustees for
6 their continued support; and the staff at the White Institute, Diane
7 Amato, Marisol Pitre, Leila Sosa, Judith Waldman, Carlos Acha,
8 Jose Naranjo, and Marie Mercan for their prodigious efforts.
