We dedicate this book to Michael Hynan, PhD, a passionate, tireless advocate
for NICU infants and their families. Dr. Hynan’s early vision helped shape
the field of NICU psychology, and his steady wisdom and mentorship helped
found the National Network of NICU Psychologists (NNNP).
We also dedicate this book to the memory of Cheryl Ann Milford, Ed.S.,
our friend, colleague, and NNNP mentor. Ms. Milford was passionate
about education and envisioned a comprehensive textbook related to NICU
psychology and behavioral health support; it is our great honor to fulfill that
dream. Cheryl, you will always be remembered, you will always be treasured,
you will always be loved. We miss you every day.
Our hope is that this book, inspired by Dr. Hynan and Ms. Milford, will serve
developing and established professionals alike and will continue to improve
patient- and family- centered care in both fetal and neonatal settings. In
their honor.

To Alex, who is a role model for finding joy and living with grace even
through the toughest of times— you inspire me every day. And to the amazing
interprofessional team with whom I work and the families who allow us into
their lives. I count myself lucky to be part of such an incredible community.
AGD
To my incredible fetal and ICU teams and to my fierce perinatal support
network. Thank you for your compassion and steadfast dedication. And to
the expectant and postpartum parents we serve, thank you for the honor
to walk alongside of you as we navigate the uncertainties and complex
challenges of parenthood together.
JCMC
To my precious family Rob, Sophia, and Lillian for their ongoing love and
constant support; my mentors and colleagues; and to all the children and
families who have graciously shared their experience, thank you.
