Acknowledgements
This book is dedicated to
my long time friend and colleague Mary Ahern
I am grateful to the colleagues, friends and family members — Lise Blumenfeld, Joe Campos, Phillip Cowan, Steven Pulos, and my daughter Julia Halsne — who read different versions of this book, offered suggestions, and encouraged me. I am particularly grateful to Gareth Hill and Kay Blacker whose overall assessment of the penultimate form of the book helped me to reorganize it into its present form, to Fabrice Clement for his patient listening as I struggled with certain concepts regarding consciousness, and for his careful reading of the previous version of this book. Herb Bengelsdorf’s critique of the revised Chapter 4 has helped put it in its current form.
I want to thank Diana Baumrind for her counsel and for her allowing access to the Family Socialization Project Archives, without which Mary Ahern and I could not have done the empirical studies of our theory of character structure formation. I want to thank Josephine Arasteh and Susan Rivera for their assistance with the studies, and Joan Martin for her repeat editing of the earlier versions of my book, and for her abiding encouragement of my effort to write this book. I want to thank Irene Elmer for her skilled and thoughtful editing of the unrevised version. Finally, I want to thank Julia for her enabling me to publish the previous version of this book on the net, and Norman Buangan for the imaginative design of the reconstituted Web site for the revised edition.
