Theories of personality (2nd ed.), Englewood Cliffs (Prentice-Hall, Inc) 1991, 428 p.

  • Our approach to the study of personality is to provide a thorough coverage of each of the major theories and to compare and integrate the various approaches. In deciding which theories to discuss, we have chosen those that have had the most significant impact on the field and that are of greatest current importance to our understanding of personality. We have attempted to write about each theory in such a way that the coverage is at once basic and advanced. An understanding of the theories presented requires no prior knowledge of personality theory, but at the same time, we provide sufficient comprehensive coverage of most theories to support advanced study of the theory and its ramifications. / Thus each theory chapter also discusses the historical origins of the theory and the biographical background of the major theorists, covers research associated with the theory, provides a critical evaluation of the approach, deals with applications of the theory, where relevant, and compares the theory with others.
