Twelve years of correspondence with Paul Meehl: tough notes from a gentle genius (1st)

In 1996 Division 12 of the APA presented Centennial Awards to two psychologists who were considered to have made the greatest lifetime contributions to the discipline.

One of those individuals was Paul Meehl. Dr. Meehl's writings on research methodology and mental illness influenced generations of researchers and psychotherapists.

This book is composed mainly of letters between Drs.

Paul Meehl and Donald Peterson during the final 12 years of Meehl's life.

After Meehl's death, Dr. Peterson revisited their correspondence, and found a remarkable order in it.
