ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Although this work bears my name, it truly reflects the relentless support and effort of so
many. First and foremost, I thank God, who has bestowed His blessings over my life time and
time again. This season of my life was no different, and His sustenance and provision was
readily evident: To Him be the glory. I also want to express my undying gratitude to my family:
to my wife, Kim, whose life has and continues to be an ever-present source of encouragement
and support; to my newborn daughter, Evie, whose impending arrival during the course of this
research gave me all the initiative I needed to ensure its completion; to my parents, Alex and
Teresa, whose sacrificial love and devotion has given me the most convincing evidence of the
amazing influence that parents have on their children; and to my siblings, Callan, Kara, and
Colleen, who contributed to making the joys of family life something that I often dwell on,
desire, and want to help others experience. I am so very grateful for my friends as well who
have often encouraged me and prayed for me as I have taken this journey.
I also want to acknowledge all the wonderful people at the University of North Texas
who have given their care and support to me over the past three years: to my fellow doctoral
students from my cohort, who contributed so much to my personal and professional growth; to
my professors, whose personal investment in my education has given me a desire to do the same
for others; and to my clients, who always seem to give me more than I am ever able to give in
return. In particular, I thank Dr. Sue Bratton, my major professor. Her passion for and belief in
using parents as therapeutic agents in the lives of their children was infectious. I also am
indebted to Dr. Garry Landreth, who first showed me the joys of entering into the world of
children through play. Finally, I want to express my gratitude for the families who gave so much
of themselves in making this research study a reality.11iii
