This volume is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Thomas Oakland, a contributor to both editions of this book. Tom developed ten standardized tests and edited 15 books, over a hundred book chapters, and 200 scholarly articles. He served as a journal editor and practiced as a forensic neuropsychologist. Tom’s contribution to multiple fields in psychology, neuropsychology, and education over the past 50 years is unparalleled. His ideas and science shaped the lives of countless generations of clinicians and educators. Tom’s contribution and his wonderful collegiality will be missed by all. Sam Goldstein Jack A. Naglieri For my grandchildren, Isaac and Avery. May they find a path to make all their hopes and dreams a future reality. I also dedicate this new text to a bright new future in education and mental health, a future in which our goal is to understand and strengthen rather than pathologize or repair the lives entrusted to us. S.G. I dedicate this book to my wife, Kathleen Kryza, in thanks for the inspiration she has continually provided. J.N.
