Acknowledgments

I would like to thank all the parents who graciously volunteered their time to take part in the interviews and to Family Adult & Child Therapies (F.A.C.T.) who welcomed me into their support group meetings. I would also like to thank the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine Short Term Training Program for providing funding for this study.
