acknowledgments
W
e thank our spouses, Joel Schneider and Angie House, for their support
and encouragement. We also thank our children, Ryan Tobin-Schneider,
Tiechera Samuell, and Brannan House. Witnessing their development has
added depth to our understanding of the processes of change and growth
that we discuss in this book. Our family members also put up with long
periods of unavailability while we worked to bring this book to fruition,
and we are grateful. We thank the chair of our department, J. Scott Jordan,
who recognizes the unique contributions of each member of our depart-
ment and allowed us the space to follow our interests. We thank two gradu-
ate assistants, Kiera Dymit and Allyson Satterlee, for their efforts in gath-
ering relevant materials for this book. Finally, we applaud the patience of
our editor at The Guilford Press, Natalie Graham, who gently pushed this
project to its completion.
