Abstract
This Special Series celebrates the work of late Paul Lerner, a lion of the Rorschach (CitationRorschach, 1921) and personality assessment. I review and discuss the original articles of Smith (2009/this issue), Handler (2009/this issue), Finn (2009/this issue), Leichtman (2009/this issue), and Husain (2009/this issue) prepared for this Special Series. In each case, I give a brief summary of these articles and then collaboratively attempt to expand on their meaning and implications. I am grateful to these authors for their inspired contributions.
