Acknowledgements

We would like to acknowledge Dr. Carol Tosone, the Editor of Clinical Social Work Journal, for her support, advice, and encouragement in the creation of this book. We also appreciate the contributors for their professionalism, cooperation, and careful attention to detail. They were delightful collaborators, and their hard work was much appreciated. Our editor at Springer, Jennifer Hadley, has also been a wonderful support to us through the publication process, for which we are most grateful.

We would like to thank the many colleagues who have been part of our journey in the realm of attachment theory and research, the students who have been so enthusiastic and interested, and the clients who are our best teachers. Our partners, adult children, and siblings at the center of our attachment circle are our primary supports with writing, in general, and with the production of this book, in particular. It is, however, our grandchildren Esther and Aurelia, just beginning to establish their “internal working models” of attachment, who have been our inspiration.
