在我的工作中,太多人曾给予我帮助,此处无法一一致谢:这本书写了好几年,我所受到的恩惠超出了记忆范围。罗洛·梅和达格芬·福尔斯达尔是特别重要的老师和向导。我的同事们阅读了全部手稿并提出批评:杰罗姆·弗兰克、朱利叶斯·海斯特尔、肯特·巴赫、大卫·斯皮格尔、亚历克斯·康福特、詹姆斯·布根塔尔、玛格丽特·莱德伯格、迈克尔·布拉特曼、米切尔·霍尔、亚伯达·西格尔、阿尔文·罗森菲尔德、赫伯特·莱德曼、迈克尔·诺登,以及很多斯坦福精神科住院医师。对于他们所有人,我表示由衷感谢!
我由衷感谢加德纳·林齐和行为科学高级研究中心在1977—1978年我访学期间为我提供了理想的学术环境。我深深地感激斯坦福大学,在我的整个职业生涯中慷慨地为我提供的学术环境:思想自由,资料支持,还有最优秀的专业同仁。我还要感谢精神病学系主任托马斯·贡达,善解人意地使我免受行政琐事的干扰。感谢马乔里·科斯比的资助与鼓励。菲比·奥斯协助进行了出色的编辑工作。这是一本大部头,而从胡乱涂写到正式手稿的每一个单词都是由我的秘书比伊·米切尔打字录入的,在我们的多年合作中,她的耐心、活力与勤勉经久不变。我的妻子玛里琳不仅提供了无尽的物质支持,而且像我之前的著述一样,还提供了非常宝贵的实质建议与编辑建议。
我还要对下列来源的引用许可表示感谢:
