Yasmin Purohit in tape-recording the presentations at the conference. We thank
Lisa DiStefano, Barrie Litzky, June Morris, and Romila Singh for taking on the

ics. We would like to give a special vote of thanks and our sincere appreciation

into a common format and word-processing style. Her sense of responsibility,
attention to detail, and cheerful attitude made it a pleasure to work with her.

We would finally like to express our deep appreciation to the many experts
who have contributed chapters to this volume. Their cooperation and respon-
siveness to our comments and suggestions greatly facilitated the editorial process

find Integrating Work and Family to be informative, helpful, and provocative.
