Citation preview

Handbook of Intelligence is the most comprehensive reference work devoted to human intelligence. Drawing on con¬ tributions from leading international authorities, it brings together the major theories and controversies, measurement methods and applica¬ tions in the held. Handbook of Intelligence is unique in the psychological reference literature. While there have been several books written on intelligence and psychologi¬ cal tests, none have attempted to ex¬ amine intelligence with the depth and breadth of this work. It covers the en¬ tire held of intelligence, from its his¬ torical beginning and conceptual and practical development, all the way to the present state of the art. Divided into three sections, the Hand¬ book deals with theories and concep¬ tual issues related to intelligence in the first part. It describes the various measurement methods and tests in the second part, explaining their ratio¬ nale and limitations. Finally, the third part presents clinical and educational applications of intelligence and its tests and measurements. Unrivalled in coverage, depth,and clar¬ ity of presentation, the Handbook of Intelligence is a must for anyone con¬ cerned with the issues of human intel¬ ligence. It is an invaluable sourcebook of inspiration and knowledge for scholars, scientists, psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, psychiatric social workers, graduate students, re¬ searchers, and libraries.

PREFACE

David Wechsler was the first American psychologist I met upon my arrival in this country thirty-five years ago. We became instant friends and had frequent scientific and social meetings. Whether in his or my home, our lunches and dinners always turned into scholarly discussions, sort of Platonic feasts, with David being the mentor and myself the enthusiastic disciple. David Wechsler was an intellectual giant, a one-man encyclopedia, full of universal knowledge. He was always ready to help, explain, and guide. A few years ago, after reading one of my handbooks and perusing my twelve-volume Encyclopedia of Psychiatry, Psychology, Psychoanalysis and Neurology, Wechsler came up with the idea of the present handbook. “Why not,” he said, “why not put together a high-level, encyclopedia handbook on Intelligence? I will be your consulting editor.” And that is how things began to roll. I contacted Richard Zeldin and Thurman Poston at Wiley. Thurman Poston was assigned as my counterpart, and I never had a more cordial and more efficient editor. I was fortunate to obtain the cooperation of three distinguished psychologists—D. K. Detterman, A. S. Kauf¬ man, and J. Matarazzo—who helped me in the planning of the Handbook and choice of contributors. The present Handbook was planned and written on the highest scholarly level. It deals with a galaxy of issues and problems and intends to serve as a vademecum for researchers and scientists. The authors of the 23 chapters are leading authorities in their respective fields who did not spare time and effort in contributing to this monumental work, worthy of the memory of David Wechsler. The present Handbook is composed of three parts. The first part deals with theories and conceptual issues related to intelligence. The second part describes the various measurement methods, tests, their rationale and their limitations. The third part is devoted to clinical, educational, and other applications. As this volume is going to press I feel confident that we have done a good job in honor of David Wechsler, our friend and teacher. Benjamin B. Wolman New York, New York June 1985
