Out of this group I particularly thank Douglas Hindman, now retired professor
of psychology at Eastern Kentucky University (and whose NWTA adventure I
had the honor to staff), Ralph Johnson, professor of philosophy at the University
of Windsor, coeditor of the Journal of Informal Logic and immediate past chair-
man of the Windsor/Detroit ManKind Project Center Board; Robert Lee, asso-
ciate professor of marriage and family therapy, Department of Family and Child
Ecology, MSU, and advisory editor of the Journal of Marriage and Family
Therapy, for reading and rereading various drafts of therapeutic articles; and
Eric Mankowski, now at Portland State University, whose support, encourage-
ment, and efforts at providing extra reviews and extra coauthoring of chapters
I appreciate tremendously.

Thanks to Jane Garry, my editor at Greenwood, for seeing the value of these
manuscripts when they were submitted as part of the book proposal. Jane's
comment to me was that she had heard about "men hugging trees" in the early
1990s and it had sounded odd to her. That common reaction is another reason
that the publication of these materials is so important. So, again Jane, thanks.
