Next to the delights of madness, perhaps the pursuit of clarity
is man’s greatest pleasure.

The 50 Most Influential Psychologists in the World  

As the great economist John Maynard Keynes famously said:

Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually slaves of some defunct economist.

He might just as well have said “psychologist.”
The list comprises individuals in approximately equal numbers from each of the five following sub-disciplines:

• personality and clinical psychology; psychiatry
• developmental and child psychology
• social psychology
• biological, comparative, and evolutionary psychology
• cognitive pscyhology; psycholinguistics; behavioral economics

Ranking Methodology
The overall list is in alphabetical order.
