To the glory of God who,

with my grandparents, parents, husband, children, and grandchildren, all my advisers and educators, patients and friends, colleagues, consultants, counselors, therapists, and fellow students,

has brought about this understanding of the nature of mental and physical health,

And,

to all my readers, that they may grow in love and knowledge of self, others, and God for effective, eternal life.

Amen.
