| Abstract: | When Colin Martindale passed away on November 16, 2008, psychology lost one of its greatest patrons. In the course of a career that spanned four decades, he worked tirelessly to promote the scientific study of aesthetics and creativity, in the process making important contributions not only to his primary focal areas but also to psycholinguistics, computerized content analysis, author attribution, psychoanalytic theory, statistical method, personality, abnormal psychology, interpersonal attraction, and oligonucleotide frequencies in DNA.
