Acknowledgements

The idea for this book came as something of an epiphany during a road trip with a friend in 2017 and has only become a reality with the help and support of some very special people. Firstly, I would like to thank my daughters and husband who never once doubted I could do this even though I had many, many doubts and fears. Special thanks also go to my publisher and co-conspirator Stephen May who could see the potential in this book and said so from day one. Stephen, you will never know how much that first conversation we had meant to me. Thank you for believing in me and guiding me through to this point. You have been amazing. I’d also like to thank my dear friend and mentor Dr Angela Ramagnano who offered support and encouragement when I felt like I was fraying at the edges. You have been an earth angel since the day I met you. Finally, but certainly not least, I would like to thank the families and students who have enriched my knowledge by allowing me to work with them. All the theories, differential diagnoses and treatment modalities mean nothing if you do not have the right people to work with and learn from. This book is for you and all the ‘you’ that I will meet in the future. Together we can do this!
