Acknowledgments

We would like to thank the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research for creating an environment that made possible a program such as “The Evolution and Dissolution of the Self.” We are also grateful to the Program Committee and its chair, Isaac Tylim, for their encouragement and support throughout the development of this conference. Special thanks to Michael Moskowitz, publisher of Other Books and member of IPTAR, for his creative foresight in recognizing the value of publishing this conference. We would also like to thank Mike and Sally Moskowitz for the inspired brochure they created. The task of running this conference would have been daunting without the administrative help of Ros Winner at the IPTAR office. Thanks also to DeSales Harrison for his speedy and competent copyediting of the complex task involved in turning a conference into a journal. We appreciate our colleagues at the Freudian Society who were kind enough to help us obtain the Mt. Sinai space in which the conference was held and the volunteers who generously gave their time to help out with the many details of registration.
