Personality: An introduction to the theories of psychology, London (Penguin Books, Inc) 1990, 193 p.

  • Although no single theory has yet managed to explain the mystery of human personality, many different approaches can add depth to our common-sense views. In this very readable survey, Peter Morea starts by examining the insights (and omissions) of Freud, Skinner's Behaviourism and the Self Therapy of Carl Rogers. Later thinkers like Erich FROMM, G. H. Mead and George Kelly have developed these ideas, portraying human beings as lonely liberals, as role-players and as scientists trying to make sense of the world. All offer crucial insights and provide different ways of understanding the nature of freedom, good and evil, and the relationship between mind, brain and body. If none is adequate on its own, together they can teach us an astonishing amount about one of the most complex and fascinating issues in psychology.
