Thanks and Kudos
I am thankful to have such a supportive and loving partner, Meg, and two amaz-
ing daughters, Molly and Janey. I am thankful for the support and friendship of
many clinical psychology colleagues, especially Kenny Sher and Tom Widiger.
Finally, Ray Ronci has been a great source of friendship and inspiration. Thanks
Ray! (TJT)
I am grateful to my always supportive wife, and my very cute baby daughter,
for their inspiration and love. I am indebted to my mentors, Drs. Annette La
Greca, and Tony Spirito, for their outstanding commitment to the field and
the lessons they have taught me about“giving back”to clinical psychology.

We also want to thank those who agreed to be“profiled”for this book.
