Acknowledgment

Appreciation also goes out to my professors, peers, and support staff at the Wright State University School of Professional Psychology for all the unfailing support and instances in which their assistance helped me along the way. The exchanges of knowledge and skills as well as talking about things other than graduate school helped enrich this graduate
