ABSTRACT

We take our leave from you here. As so many things in life, we wanted to say and communicate more, but we reached the end of our allotted time and space for this volume. For some of you, the messages of the book may continue to reverberate and serve as a bridge or ongoing connection to the ideas, cases, and ways of working that were presented. As in other forms of relationships, the chemistry and connection are highly individual. From our part, writing for you has been significant. Ideas, concepts, and clinical material were rethought, reexperienced, and recast so that even much of what we thought we knew turned into something that we encountered freshly and we wrote from that perspective. Blending old and new, familiar and unfamiliar, creates something that has not been before. We hope that you were encouraged to connect to both the familiar and the unfamiliar in combinations and creative pathways that open, deepen, and truly inform your work and yourselves. Thank you for being with us.
