Читать книгу Choosing Healthy Sexual Boundaries: The Handbook - Tommy Jones - Страница 3

First, Tommy would like to thank his wife, Gail, and his son, Matt, for their loyalty and support at a time of overwhelming crisis in his life. I love you both.

Thanks, also, to the entire staff, clinical and administrative, at Project Pathfinder, Inc., (projectpathfinder.org), St. Paul, Minnesota, with special gratitude to Jannine Hebert, for fixing me when I was seriously broken, and to Warren Maas for helping to restore honor and trust to my life. The healing power of this treatment program, its staff and support people, continues to contribute immensely to the health and safety of its community.

Thanks to my great friend and colleague, Bobby Schauerhamer, whose idea 10 years ago resulted in the wonderful group on which this book is based.

Bobby would like to thank all of his family, friends and employers who supported him in what he does now, rather than judging him on the mistakes that he made in the past. Thanks to all of the men who have attended the Healthy Boundaries groups over the years and share their courage and wisdom. Lastly, and most importantly, I would like to thank Tommy Jones for being steady and consistent in his friendship even as I struggle to keep from falling.

Both Tommy and Bobby would like to thank William (Liam) Dobbs for his professional design and editing work preparing this manuscript for publication.

And, of course, thanks to the Twin Cities Men's Center (tcmc.org), Minneapolis, Minnesota, for sponsoring, supporting, and providing space for the wonderful group on which this handbook is based to live and grow.
