Paul E. Meehl (b. 1920 d. 2003) was a leading psychologist and writer on the philosophy of science. He was a follower of Sir Karl Popper's Falsificationism and a strident opponent of using statistical null hypothesis testing for the evaluation of theory. He beleived that many of the "soft" areas of psychology (e.g. clinical, counseling, social, personality, and community) had produced little forward progression of scientific knowledge.
