Joseph Frank Rychlak was born on December 17, 1928 and passed away on April 16, 2013. Joe's major contributions to psychology vary widely, as mentioned, but they are all carefully connected to a rigorously humanistic understanding of the person. It may be stretching it to use the phrase "one of the last grand theorists" to describe him and his contribution to psychology. There are still many important living theorists in the field. However, it is not an exaggeration to use the term "grand" because Rychlak's work is nothing if not subsuming, spanning not only the personality and psychotherapy literatures but also works on cognition, humanism, and the philosophy of science. Throughout his long and productive examination of these ideas, Joe remained a man of the highest integrity, vision, and caring.
约瑟夫·弗兰克·雷奇拉克于 1928 年 12 月 17 日出生，于 2013 年 4 月 16 日去世。正如前文所述，乔对心理学的主要贡献范围广泛，但都与对人的严格人文理解紧密相连。用“最后一位伟大理论家之一”来形容他和他对心理学的贡献可能有些夸张。该领域仍有许多重要的在世理论家。然而，使用“伟大”一词并非言过其实，因为雷奇拉克的工作不仅包罗万象，涵盖了人格和心理治疗文献，还涵盖了认知、人本主义和科学哲学方面的著作。在对这些思想进行长期而富有成效的研究过程中，乔始终保持着最高的正直、远见和关怀。
