Abstract

In this brief biographical sketch of Paul Meehl, the authors examine the β€œcumulative record” of his scholarship and mentorship. This record sheds light on why Meehl is widely regarded as one of the most influential clinical psychologists of the 20th century, as well as on Meehl's remarkable intellectual life. Time has proven that Meehl's writings are exceptional in their quality, influence, breadth, and depth. In addition, Meehl's cumulative record raises important questions regarding the reinforcement contingencies in major research‐oriented psychology departments. Β© 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
