Abstract

ABSTRACTI had wanted to do my thesis on family’s use of humor in therapy. My first lesson was that that was too complicated a project—a lesson in practicality, which influenced my entire future career. My thesis also gave me the chance to focus on children’s resourcefulness and resilience, rather than just on their problems and psychopathology. After graduation, my advisor proposed that I publish my thesis. Her generosity in mentoring me toward publication was an extraordinary boon. I had no idea how to go about submitting something for publication, and she guided me through the process, giving me confidence to proceed professionally. I believe practitioners need to be encouraged, as I was, to push their ideas and insights into expanding theory and practice for the benefit of our communities for the future. We have a great need to push the boundaries of support, change, healing, and transformation.
