We would like to thank our editor, George Zimmar, for his good natured intelligence and encourage- ment in helping to bring this book to fruition and our spirited secretary, Mau- reen Coveney, for putting up with us during the writing of this book. We also would like to tip our hats to colleagues whose theoretical and clin- ical writings have been invaluable influences on our therapy and catalysts to our thinking: Theodore Millon, John Bowlby, Mary Ainsworth, Mary Main and her colleagues, Robert Plutchik, Jeremy Safran, Drew Westen, Donald Nathanson, and Stanley Greenspan. Finally, Jonathan would like to thank his wife, Sandra Waugh, for tirelessly transcribing tape recordings of our peer supervision sessions and for sweeping the kids away to give him time to write. ix
