Читать книгу The Wounded Woman - Linda Schierse Leonard - Страница 6

So many people have helped me over the six years of writing this book—clients, students, colleagues, friends—and I wish to thank all of these women and men who shared with me their experiences and understanding of the father-daughter relationship.

Special thanks go to the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco for their scholarship grants which financed some of the clerical work for this book; to the editorial staff of Psychological Perspectives which originally published four articles that have been incorporated in the book, and especially to William Walcott, Russell Lockhart and A1 Kreinheder for their support and editorial suggestions; to Donna Ippolito of Swallow Press whose suggestions were of immeasurable importance in the final revisioning of the text; to Elaine E. Stanton for the artistic image for the cover; to Mary Ann Mattoon who first invited me to lecture publicly on the father-daughter wound and later read the manuscript and gave suggestions; to my writing group, John Beebe, Neill Russack, and Karen Signell who listened to some of the chapters in their original form and gave me new perspectives and constructive criticism; to Peer Hultberg, John Beebe, and Kirsten Rasmussen who read the manuscript as a whole and offered valuable suggestions; to my class at the California School of Professional Psychology, Berkeley, for sharing their fantasies about fathering and feminity; to Hilde Binswanger who first inspired me to write on the father-daughter wound; to Jane and Jo Wheelwright, Janine and Steve Hunter, and Gloria Gregg who gave me emotional support and suggestions during critical phases of the writing process; and especially to my mother, Virginia Schierse, who shared with me her experience and memories of my father.
