First, thanks go to Dr. Karl Schick, who initially suggested that I write the book. I am also grateful for the encouragement of Drs. Jack Block, Jim Blight, Marshall Edelson, David Mayer, and Gudmund Smith, who have seen earlier versions; to Jerry Wakefield, who gave me a philosophical perspective; to the Trustees and Dean of Rutgers Medical School–UMDNJ, who made possible a much needed sabbatical; and to Dr. Robert Wallerstein for providing office space and library facilities at the University of California, San Francisco, where so much of the final work was carried out.
My thanks go also to the International Journal of Psycho-analysis for permission to reprint material that first appeared in that journal, and to the Louvre, the Prado, and the Print Collection of the New York Public Library for permission to reproduce materials from their collections.
Finally, I wish to thank Mrs. Charlotte Hardy, who, with unfailing good humor, typed the final manuscript and all earlier drafts. She has my warmest gratitude.
