Alexander B. Caldwell (1929-2022).

Abstract

This article memorializes Alexander B. Caldwell (1929-2022). Caldwell, a luminary Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) scholar, was a humanist of the highest order. He was professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Medicine, and subsequently also joined the Department of Psychology. Caldwell believed his greatest contributions were the integration of an internal MMPI measure of socioeconomic status with other measures of validity and in considering the literature on the developmental patterns of individuals with various MMPI code types. In 2003, the Society for Personality Assessment honored Alex with the Bruno Klopfer Award for what they described as his "outstanding, long-term professional contribution to the field of personality assessment."
