The author commemorates Paul Meehl by briefly presenting some of his cardinal contributions to clinical psychology, including the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), rational–emotive behavior therapy, and clinical versus statistical prediction. He also describes a few of his personal contacts with him. Meehl modeled a way of thinking, and thinking about thinking, that should be useful to all clinical psychologists. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol 61: 1231–1232, 2005.
