Acknowledgments

First Edition

We have tried to accurately cite the writers whose work has influenced our thinking. However, thoughts and ideas often have a lineage for which there are no DNA markers. Many of “our” ideas have their roots in our relationships with patients, therapists, supervisors, teachers, and friends. So much of our thinking has been shaped by these relationships that we are not certain whom to credit for what. Therefore, we would like to thank those who have influenced our understanding in ways too nonspecific to enumerate.

Peter Buirski is grateful to Elliot Adler, PhD; Cathy Krown Buirski, LCSW; Harold Cook, PhD; Abe Fenster, PhD; Max Geller, PhD; David Hurst, MD; Amanda Kottler, MA; Frank Lachmann, PhD; Louise McDonald, MD; Lynn Rosdal, PsyD; Betsy Rubin, PhD; Robert Shapiro, PhD; Ruth Shapiro, PhD; and Stanley Teitelbaum, PhD.

Pamela Haglund wishes to thank Earlene Dal Pozzo, MD; Ralph Fisch, PhD; Norman Haglund, JD; Mitch Handelsman, PhD; Betsy Rubin, PhD; Karen Rosica, PsyD; Ann Sartori, PsyD; Liz Shane, PsyD; and Barbara Unger, PhD.

The students we have taught and supervised at the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of Denver have also shaped our understanding of the psychotherapy process. Many of our clinical examples are drawn from our work together. These have been important formative relationships for us, and we would like to thank Susan Albers, Dina Elias, Robin Eskey, Amy Favero, Victoria Gould, Mary Mikhail, Mike Monroe, Anne Reckling, Martha Ryan, Rod Schmidt, Suzanne Shaker, Trish Short, Katie Snipes, Elaine Stando, and especially H. C. Brunette, who courageously participated in our supervision experiment and co-authored Chapter 9 with us.

We would like to thank those who provided indispensable assistance in bringing this project to fruition: Tracie Kruse for structuring our time, guarding the door, and ensuring us quiet time to work; John Kirk, Cara Latazorri, and Caroline Martin, who transcribed videotaped therapy sessions; and Lynn Tran and Vincent Diep at the Hong Kong Cafe whose hospitality and culinary nurturance enabled us to occupy a table for hours on end where much of this book was thought through.

We would especially like to thank Robert Stolorow, PhD, whose support and encouragement for this project have been very meaningful to us.

Finally, we are indebted to those individuals whose anonymity we need to preserve, who have shared their intimate lives with us and are co-constructors of this book.

Second Edition

Peter Buirski, PhD, wants to thank Shelly Smith Acuna, PhD; Lavita Nadkarni, PhD; Michael Karson, PhD; and colleagues and friends at the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of Denver, who have supported my work and from whom I have learned a great deal. Thanks also to David Hurst, MD, my psychoanalytic colleague and friend who has allowed his painting, Reflections, to grace this book’s cover. My special thanks to Emily Markley, PsyD, with whom I have co-taught psychoanalytic theories and who has co-authored Chapters 1, 9, and 10 with me. In particular, I want to again thank Lynn Rosdal, PsyD, with whom I have co-taught and supervised twenty-eight yearlong courses in beginning psychotherapy from the intersubjective perspective. Over our time together, I have learned so much about clinical practice from Rosdal that I can no longer tell in which one of us an idea originated.

Emily Markley, PsyD, would like to thank, first and foremost, my dear teacher, mentor, and friend Peter Buirski, PhD, who has taught me so much throughout the years and who generously invited me to be a part of adding to this beautiful book. The guidance and encouragement he has shown me have been some of the greatest gifts of my life. I would also like to thank the many professors and supervisors who helped me to find my voice and my colleagues and friends at the Graduate School of Professional Psychology and Craig Hospital for their support and for being my professional homes. Finally, I would like to thank my husband and new baby son for everything.
