7 Acknowledgments I would like to express my great thanks to Carol Tosone, Senior Series Editor, for her encouragement and astute guidance in moving this book from idea to reality: her vision of clinical social work is unparalleled, as is her tireless advocacy of social work s role in the helping professions. Joan Berzoff, a leading author in our field, embodied the social work principle of joining the practical and the relational by helping me gather this exceptional group of writers and supporting me through the process of integrating many voices. Clear and insightful editorial recommendations pulled me out of many a quagmire, thanks to Susan Heath, Nancy Beckerman, and Cathy Siebold. Sonia H. Martin, graduate research assistant, was responsive, pre- cise, technically gifted, and unflaggingly cheerful all much needed and appreci- ated contributions. I also wish to thank my study group partners of over 30 years - Monica Bernheim, Mary Beth Cresci, Andrew Karpf, Pauline Pinto, and Suzanne Zissu - whose weekly inspirational, scholarly, and friendly support have kept vital my clinical thinking, teaching and practice. To all the chapter authors, I offer gratitude and appreciation for sharing their scholarship and practice expertise. Their hard work and forbearance brought this work through the long process of weaving together many perspectives. I thank them for their demonstration of how our diversities can come together and make an important contribution to all clinical social workers. Lastly, and most importantly, I want to thank my family: I am very fortunate to have had their confidence and enthusiasm every step of the way. vii
