Acknowledgments
Heartfelt appreciation to Barbara S. Brauer, whose skills, vision, humor, and friendship made the writing of this book not only possible but also pleasurable.
Loving gratitude to Robert Ross for his unceasing support and devotion, and to Michael and Jeremy for their sustaining love, pride, and willingness to comprehend, as only the very young can do, their mother's need to write, even when this meant I could not be with them.
Special thanks to Candice Fuhrman, my agent, who believed in this project from the beginning, and whose guidance and tenacity helped make it happen, and to my editor, Rebecca Post, for her enthusiasm and her insistence that this book be as clear as possible.
And I would like to recognize Dr. Steven Wolin, whose pioneering work in resilience helped stimulate me in the formation of these concepts.
