S. R. Forness and J. W. Lloyd, 2005
Sometimes I get to hang around with some really wonderful contributors to the study of emotional and behavior disorders, and the accompanying photo shows one of those occasions. That’s Steven R. Forness, whom I was holding down so that he would not float away into the ether, one of a handful of giants in EBD.
Professor Forness earned a BA from the University of Northern Colorado and an MA and an Ed.D. from UCLA. He was one of the early leaders in the development of the school programs at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute and served as principal for the school affiliated with the NPI (now known as the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior).
Professor Forness collaborated closely with one of the most important historical contributors to EBD, Frank Hewitt, during the early part of his career. Later, he and Kenneth Kavale wrote scores of books, chapters, and articles together.
Even though he is retired from day-to-day scholarship, he continues to work with many projects scattered around the US.
