Читать книгу Introduction to Abnormal Child and Adolescent Psychology - Robert Weis - Страница 28

I am grateful to many people for their support and encouragement. First, I am thankful for the professional training and mentorship of Dr. Chris Lovejoy and the faculty at Northern Illinois University, who embody the spirit of the scientist–practitioner tradition. Second, I want to acknowledge three clinician–scholars who have greatly influenced my view of developmental psychopathology and the delivery of psychological services to children, adolescents, and families: Dr. Thomas Linscheid and Dr. Joseph Hatcher of Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and Dr. Terry Kaddatz of St. Michael Hospital in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Third, I would like to thank Denison University for supporting this project for many years. Finally, I would like to thank the reviewers of this edition of the book for their kind assistance: Kristin E. Austin, Florida State University; Myra Bundy, Eastern Kentucky University; and Ellyn Herb, San Jose State University.

Finally, I am most indebted to my wife, Jennifer, and three wonderful children: Thomas, Marie, and Anne Catherine. My children were infants and toddlers when the first edition of this book was published, and now they are all teenagers! It has been a pleasure helping them along their developmental paths, wherever these paths might eventually lead.
