In memoriam: Hans H. Strupp (1921-2006).

Hans Hermann Strupp, who deeply influenced the field of psychotherapy research for 50 years, died on October 5, 2006, of Parkinson's disease. He was 85 years old. Hans entered the field when psychotherapy research largely focused on straightforward questions of general efficacy. Beginning with the publication of his dissertation in 1955, Hans demonstrated a keen ability of systematically applying rigorous scientific methods to phenomena that were close to the hearts of practicing therapists. Hans was an early advocate of the need for audio and video recording of therapy sessions for research purposes. The scientific study of the therapeutic process was a central focus of his research. Equal to his empirical contributions was Hans's talent as a writer and what many regard as his uncanny rhetorical abilities. This balance allowed him to engage in discussions with many scientists from radically different schools, which contributed to the foundation of the movement of psychotherapy integration.

John W. Money (1921-2006).

John Money died of complications from Parkinson's disease the day before his 85th birthday. Always obsessed with language, Dr. Money (as everyone called him) co-opted the linguistic term of gender to help him explain the human paradox of hermaphroditism, the topic of his 1952 doctoral dissertation at Harvard. He came to the United States, where he completed a residency at the Western State Psychiatric Institute of the University of Pittsburgh in 1948. He then went to Harvard. In 1951, Lawson Wilkins, the founder of pediatric endocrinology, brought him to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Hospital. There, he essentially founded the field of psychoendocrinology when he established the Psychohormonal Research Unit for the long-term psychological study of individuals with intersexuality and other conditions. Money spent his entire professional career as a researcher at Hopkins, with dual appointments in the Departments of Psychiatry and Pediatrics. According to the John Money Collections at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, he had a total of 1,192 publications, including 402 scholarly articles, 140 reviews and editorials, 95 book chapters, and 48 books, which were translated into many languages. He was the recipient of more than 65 worldwide honors, awards, lectureships, or degrees. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

C. R. (Rick) Snyder (1944-2006).

This is an obituary for Charles Richard "Rick" Snyder. Before C. R. Snyder, hope was a concept elusive to many clinicians and clients, clinical and social psychologists often spoke at rather than to one another, and there was a limited collaborative spirit between the clinical and social subfields. As a result of his scholarship, mentorship, and generous spirit, hope is more accessible, the social-clinical interface is a vibrant area of study, and psychology is a more civil profession.

Benjamin Kleinmuntz (1930-2006).

In the 1960s, the idea that clinical judgments should be aided, or even replaced, by computerized algorithms was quite radical. Computerized interpretation of standardized tests is accepted now, although its role remains controversial. Benjamin Kleinmuntz was a pioneer in the study of computers in clinical reasoning and a founder of the field of judgment and decision research. He passed away at his home inWilmette, Illinois, on June 28, 2006, at the age of 76. Although he lived with a transplanted heart for almost 11 years, he died of complications of unrelated abdominal surgery. Ben's early research concerned statistical methods for identifying psychopathologies and interpreting personality profiles. Ben then focused on investigating the use of computers in clinical diagnosis. Ben also wrote or cowrote textbooks on general psychology, abnormal psychology, and personality assessment. He was also a great teacher and advisor, with a unique personal style and an emphasis on both rigor and relevance. He received multiple awards for teaching excellence, and his two all-University teaching awards were as important to him as his many books, publications, and professional recognitions.
