    I would also like to thank Madeleine Tress and Ellen Paritz at NYU who have helped appreciably in the preparation of the manuscript. In addition it is a pleasure to acknowledge my editors at Guilford Press, Seymour Weingarten and Maxine Berzok, who have been a steady and very professional source of support for this project.

    A last and most important acknowledgment is to my wife, Timmie, and our six children. I believe it was Daniel, some years ago, who first asked, “Mommy, why does Daddy always talk about Freud?” I hope this book both answers that question and will allow family life to move on to new and (at least from their point of view) more interesting topics.
