Balancing Act

Аннотация

With deep gratitude I acknowledge the colleague-friends who have read portions of this manuscript and shared their valued reflections. They have helped me enormously. They include: Robert Arnold, M.D., Howard Brody, M.D., Ph.D., Charles Dougherty, Ph.D., Howard Entman, M.D., Peter Jacobson, J.D., Erich Loewy, M.D., Thomas Kennedy, Ph.D., Laurence McCullough, Ph.D., Charles Pinches, Ph.D., Michael Rie, M.D., Lawrence Schneiderman, M.D., Margery Shaw, M.D., J.D. I would particularly like to thank those who have critically reviewed the manuscript in its entirety: Terrence Ackerman, Ph.D., H. Tristram Engelhardt, Jr., Ph.D., M.D., Leonard Fleck, Ph.D., Paul Menzel, Ph.D., Robert M. Nelson, M.D., Stuart Spicker, Ph.D., Stephen Wear, Ph.D., and several anonymous reviewers. The time, thought, and help they each so generously gave improved this volume immeasurably. While I therefore owe them great credit for its strengths, the book's flaws remain, of course, my own. And finally, I offer a special and very personal thanks to Tris Engelhardt. He has supported and encouraged my work since I was a graduate student - before I entered this profession, and long before he proposed (in a pub in Sydney, Australia) that I write this volume. Thank you, Tris.
