This volume is dedicated to the Robert Lemelson Foundation. Psychological anthropology is a small if lively and productive field, and one underfunded by comparison with more sizeable and centrally positioned disciplines. Through the Lemelson/SPA Conference Fund, the Robert Lemelson Foundation has made possible a series of conferences on important topics in psychological anthropology, such as the one that culminated in the present volume. Through the Lemelson Student Fellowship Program, the foundation has also supported the initial dissertation field research of multiple cohorts of graduate students working in this area. This foundation has thus become by far the most dependable source of funding for psychological anthropology, playing a tremendous role in nourishing our subdiscipline. For this we are profoundly grateful. We hope that in a small way this dedication expresses our gratitude.
