Trust of Norway, for supporting this project from its inception-not only morally but also financially. A special thanks to Mette Kjaer, Head of Research at Finnmark Hospital Trust, and to Torben Wisborg, Head of the Research Board there, for helping me navigate Norwegian health law, Regional Ethical Committee requirements, and other practical issues. Much gratitude to the people I work under, Bryndis Rogde, Robert Kechter, Ragnhild Hanne Nilsen and Inger Lise Balandin, for supporting my work in the most generous ways. Thanks to my lovely colleagues for always backing my intellectual ambitions and enduring my absence from the clinic. Thanks to professor emerita Hanne Haavind for very valuable comments in the process of editing. Thanks to Joyce Slochower, Joel Weinberger, and Simone Drichel for theoretical discussions. I owe my deepest gratitude to my mentor and friend, Nancy McWilliams. My most poetic efforts cannot really express how important you have been, not just for this project but also for my professional and personal growth."Thanks" feels like a platitude. Finally, heartful appreciation to my beloved wife, Erica, not just for reliably supporting my career in the most unselfish and generous ways but also for enduring my endless, preoccupied self-absorption in this writing. Your vital ideas, generous heart, sharp mind, and critical reflections are deeply important to me. Thanks for love and wisdom. Finally, and centrally, I want to honor the people I cannot name: my patients, supervisees, and students. A special thanks to the brave Isabel and the thoughtful Sonja.Thank you all. Any mistakes in my work are my own.
