Acknowledgments

This text could not have been written without the professional and personal support of colleagues, family, and friends. I would first like to thank the Clackamas Community College Sabbatical program for allowing me to focus on this work for an academic year. A big thanks to Jerry, Natasha, Jodi, and all of the other CCC folks who covered for me while I was on sabbatical. I couldn’t have finished this project without the input and support of friends like Brenda Marks and Ida Flippo. I also want to thank my family, especially Kim and Elaine Miller, for encouraging me when I was flagging–you both are natural social workers!
