In addition, our interpretations of ethical codes and standards should not be viewed as reflecting the official opinion of any specific professional association.

When Susan Jacob and Tim Hartshorne published the first edition of Ethics and Law for School Psychologists in 1991, interest in ethical and legal issues associated with the field of school psychology was growing. However, while attorneys and others published on special education law, there were not many school psychologists publishing in the area of ethics. Today, it is exciting to see new scholars writing about ethics in school psychology, and especially social justice. With this edition, we begin a shift toward including some of those new voices as book and chapter authors. Elena Diamond, Associate Professor and Director of the School Psychology Program at Lewis & Clark College, joins us as a fourth author of the textbook. Dana E. Boccio, Associate Professor of Psychology at Adelphi University, provides her expertise in the new ssss1 on advocacy. In addition, McKinzie Duesenberg, doctoral student at the University of Missouri, is an author of ssss1 on ethical and legal issues associated with school-based research. It is hoped that this sets the stage for a new cohort of writers who, along with Dawn M. Decker and Elizabeth T. Lugg, can take lead roles in future revisions of this textbook. Our goal is to continue to produce a textbook that has a progression from basic concepts to more specific and complex content across chapters. We hope that this and future editions not only continue to have connectivity across chapters, but also emphasize the fresh and new ideas of younger scholars.
