Acknowledgments
From All the Authors
We want to thank the people at The Guilford Press who supported us throughout this long and difficult project: Kitty Moore, Executive Editor, who gave us invaluable editorial advice and helped shape the book; Anna Nelson, Production Editor, who oversaw the production of the book so diligently and was such a pleasure to work with; Elaine Kehoe, who edited the book so beautifully; and all the other staff who worked with us.
We would like to give special thanks to Dr. George Lockwood, who provided us with so many valuable insights and historical anecdotes about psychoanalytic approaches and who donated much of the material in Chapter 1 on other integrative therapies. You are a joy to work with, and we look forward to future collaborative efforts.
We would like to thank the staff at the Schema Therapy Institute in Manhattan, especially Nancy Ribeiro and Sylvia Tamm. Thank you for doing so much of the work that supported our efforts. You are warm and reliable ports in a storm.
Finally, we thank our patients, who have taught us about the transformation of tragedy into hope and healing.
There are many individuals I want to thank who have played important roles in the development of schema therapy, in the writing of this book, and in supporting me through this grueling process.
To my close friends, for their love and caring over many years, and for their help in developing this approach. You have been like family: Wendy Behary, Pierre Cousineau, Cathy Flanagan, Vivian Francesco, George Lockwood, Marty Sloane, Bob Sternberg, Will Swift, Dick and Diane Wattenmaker, and William Zangwill.
To my colleagues, who have advanced schema therapy in many different ways, both in the United States and abroad: Arnoud Arntz, Sam Ball, Jordi Cid, Michael First, Vartouhi Ohanian, Bill Sanderson, Glenn Waller, and David Weinberger.
To Nancy Ribeiro, my Executive Administrator, for her devotion in helping me with every project, while putting up with my quirks on a daily basis.
To my father, whose unconditional love provided me with the model for parenting and reparenting.
And, to my mentor, Tim Beck, who has been both a personal friend and a guide throughout my career.

In addition to the above, I would like to thank my colleagues for their support, especially Dr. Jayne Rygh, Dr. Ken Appelbaum, Dr. David Bricker, Dr. William Sanderson, and Jenna Smith, CM. I would also like to thank my family and friends—especially Michael and Molly—for providing the secure base upon which I have built my career.

I thank my teachers, especially Aaron T. Beck, MD, for their wisdom and guidance. I thank my colleagues and students for their considerable help, and I thank my family—all four generations—for their humor, optimism, probity, and sustaining love.
