abstract: Arnold A. Lazarus, distinguished professor emeritus at the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers University, passed away on October 1, 2013. He is regarded as one of the founders of behavior therapy and one of its leading practitioners and teachers. Throughout his career Lazarus enjoyed the rare distinction of being one of the most influential, creative, and highly regarded clinical practitioners in the field of clinical psychology. To those fortunate to have been his students, colleagues, or friends, Lazarus's intelligence, creativity, kindness, and mischievous and often irreverent wit made him very special indeed.
