ABSTRACT
I finished this book in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarantined in my home just outside of Washington, DC, in Chevy Chase, Maryland, I have been in frequent contact with Chinese colleagues as together and separately we work to help our patients and our colleagues in America and China. I have been involved in educating American therapists on how to move their practices online when that way of working was still alien to many of them, and working together with others, have been engaged in trying to understand how to think about this unique situation in which colleagues worldwide share in being threatened by the pandemic even while trying to help our patients with that worry, which has magnified the difficulties that brought them to treatment in the first place.
