Course books for the Spring 2006 semester

Hello all -

In an attempt to save everyone money, I am posting the books for my courses here online. I've also included links to these books so you can just sit here and click away. My suggestion is to buy the books used - it saves you A LOT of money in most cases. However, if you are going to buy the books used, my suggestion to you is to order them now.

I've also posted some books that either may be helpful for you all, or books that I will use for future courses. Only the REQUIRED books are necessary to purchase.

Here are the required texts for the class:



HDL 721b-002 (Cognitive II) ****the first three books, you should already have
Flanagan, D.P & Harrision, P.L. (2005). Contemporary Intellectual Assessment:
Theories, Tests and Issues
(3rd edition). New York: Guilford Publishing.

Flanagan, D.P. & Kaufman, A.S. (2004). Essentials of WISC-IV Assessment.
Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons.

Lichtenberger, E.O. & Kaufman, A.S. (2004). Essentials of WPPSI-III Assessment. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons

Lichtenberger, E.O. & Smith, D.R. (2005). Essentials of WIAT -II and KTEA-II Assessment. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons.

Mather, N. & Jaffe, L.E. (2002). Woodcock-Johnson III: Reports, Recommendations, and Strategies. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons.


HDL 650 (Developmental Psychopathology)
Sameroff, A.J., Lewis, M., & Miller, S.M. (2000). Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology, 2 ed. Springfield, MS: Springer Publishing. Please make sure that you buy the 2nd edition. The field of child psychopathology is constantly changing and growing, and the 1st edition is now mostly obsolete and useless. Furthermore it has VERY outdated material. I know the 2nd edition is a lot of money, so buy it used.

HDL 651 (Neuropsychology)
D'Amato, R.C., Fletcher-Janzen, E., & Reynolds, C.R. (2005). Handbook of School Neuropsychology. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons.
