Acknowledgments
Liza H. Gold – As anyone who has undertaken writing a book knows, many people contribute to the project, although the authors take full responsibility for the quality, or lack thereof, of the final product. I would like to thank Springer and Sharon Panulla for agreeing to publish a book on this important subject. I also thank Professor Dan Shuman, without whom this book would not have been completed. As Robert I. Simon, MD, says, the most important part of writing is finishing. Without Professor Shuman’s contributions, I could not have finished this book. I would also like to thank the members of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law’s (AAPL) Task Force on Disability Guidelines: Stuart A. Anfang, MD, Albert M. Drukteinis, MD, JD, Jeffrey L. Metzner, MD, Marilyn Price, MD, Barry W. Wall, MD, and Lauren J. Wylonis, MD. Their clinical and forensic expertise and their collaboration in the creation of the AAPL’s Guidelines for Forensic Evaluation of Psychiatric Disability (Gold et al., 2008) are reflected throughout this book. I also offer special thanks in regard to the AAPL’s Disability Guidelines to Douglas Mossman, MD, Debra A. Pinals, MD, and John Davidson, Esq. Thanks go to the leadership of AAPL, in particular Howard V. Zonana, MD, Medical Director, and Jacquelyn T. Coleman, CAE, Executive Director, as well as to Ezra E.H. Griffith, MD, Editor of the Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, for giving their permission
