DEDICATION
To Rachel, my en sevgili karim and tatli kalbim.
Sen beni acarsan.
In His time, our God caused our paths to cross and
our lives to merge. Together we have journeyed far. Time
and again, God has opened doors and supplied all our needs--
and more. Thank you, God.
Throughout this doctoral program and the writing of
this dissertation, you have been faithfully by my side.
Your love, prayers, comfort, and encouragement to me have
been constant. During these months and years, while I have
been in classes, studying, researching, writing, interning,
practicing my profession, and doing EOD, you have been
cheerful, supportive, self-sacrificing, noncomplaining, and
making our home a bit of heaven.
With God, we have accomplished this doctoral program
together. I give you my heartfelt thanks and my love
forever. Seni heran, ebediyet'e kadar, severim. Rachel, my
beloved wife, I dedicate my dissertation to you.
