Erich Fromm
(1976)
This text is written expressly for undergraduate students who have had no previous exposure to personality theories. / Because beginning undergraduate students must be aware of the diversity of approaches to the understanding of personality, I have included theorists representing psychoanalytic, neopsychoanalytic, trait, life-span, humanistic, cognitive, behavioral, and social-learning approaches, as well as both clinical and experimental work. / Where biographical data are sufficient, I have tried to demonstrate how the development of various theories might have been influenced by specific events and experiences in the theorists' personal and professional lives. / In this book each theory is organized and presented in the way that seems clearest for that theory; I have not attempted to force the divergent points of view into a standard format. – Index: The study of personality: Assessment, research, and theory – Part 1: The psychoanalytic approach: Sigmund Freud – Part 2: The neopsychoanalytic approach – Carl Jung – Alfred Adler – Karen Horney – Erich FROMM – Henry Murray – Part 3: The trait approach – Gordon Allport – Gaymond Catell – Part 4: The life-span approach – Erik Erikson – Part 5: The humanistic approach – Abraham Maslow – Carl Rogers – Part 6: The cognitive approach: George Kelly – Part 7: The behavioral approach: B.
