Page xiii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The editors would first like to thank James Peltz (at SUNY) for his patience and invaluable assistance—and for putting up with three intense editors who are in great need of depth psychologists. We would also like to thank the following for their assistance in many ways: Carola Sautter, for initially recognizing the potential significance of our project; Dr. James Lieberman, for his recommendations; Werner and Evelyn Pluhar, for their advice on computer matters. We also would like to thank Brooklyn College librarians Sherry Warman and Betty Miller for their expert assistance, and the Computer Center at Penn State, Berks (especially Lisa Glass and Chris). Dr. Lehrer wishes to thank Heinz L. Ansbacher and Edward Hoffman for reading and commenting on his paper on Freud and Adler. Weaver gives special thanks to her research assistant, Thomas Zerkowski, for helping with final proofs—and going through the last hours of madness with her! Distinct acknowledgment also goes to production editor, Susan Geraghty. Last but not least, each editor would like to acknowledge the others. Drs. Golomb and Santaniello especially thank Dr. Lehrer for his bibliography. Weaver would especially like to thank JG for initiating this volume. Ron and Jacob would like to express their deep gratitude for Weaver's painstaking efforts for most of the technicalities involved.
