To provide a better understanding of the diverse interpretations of human behavior and the dynamic forces within personality, this work explores the major theories of personality. It covers the theories of Freud, Jung, and Adler; of Pavlov, Hull, Skinner, Dollard and Miller, and Cattell; of Horney, Sullivan, FROMM, and Erickson; of Lewin and Allport, of Husserl, Combs and Snygg, Rogers, Maslow, Goldstein, and Frankl. Each chapter contains a study guide to review the salient points of the personality theory discussed and suggestions to apply these concepts to professional counseling practice. Lending a degree of concreteness to the abstract ideas are explanatory drawings used throughout the text--a feature particularly benefiting visually-oriented readers. – Index: Preface – A dynamic view of personality theories – Psychoanalytic theory: Sigmund Freud – Analytic theory: Carl Gustav Jung – Individual psychology: Alfred Adler – Interpersonal theories: Karen Horney, Harry Stack Sullivan – Psychosocial theories: Erich FROMM, Erik Erikson – Learning theory of Dollard and Miller – Trait and factor theory: Raymond B.

This book will first acquaint them (laypersons) with the major characteristics of the creative personality and the creative process. It will then critically discuss the theoretical ideas contributed by representatives of such traditions as psychoanalysis, existentialism, and scientific behaviorism. Thus it is intended first, for the >enlightened< lay person, be he or she a practicing professional in the arts or sciences, an interested observer, or an undergraduate student seeking that elusive diploma. It is also hoped, however, that trained philosophers and/or psychologists will find it informative (although they should be forewarned that at times the discussion may seem elementary), since these theoretical writings have not, to our knowledge, been previously brought together in this manner. In short, we unabashedly seek to provide what might pass for a >textbook< on the topic. – Index: Introduction – Part I: Problems and evidence – A problematic potpourri – Democracy and creativity – The >data< of creativity – The stages of the creative process – The data of creativity I: Some characteristics of creative persons – Methods of study – Personality characteristics – The data of creativity II: Complications – Fictional characteristics – Conceptual problems – he creative process I: Preparation and incubation – cubation/frustration – The creative process II: Inspiration and beyond – Verification/hypothesis testing – Part II: Theories of personal autonomy – Existential approaches I: Basic premises and Albert Camus – Existential approaches II: Jean-Paul Sartre – Part III: Theories of antecedent causation – Supernatural/theological approaches – Psychoanalytic approaches I: Sigmund Freud – Psychoanalytic approaches II: Jung and Rank – Psychoanalytic approaches III: Miscellaneous – Ernst Kris – Silvano Arieti – Phyllis Greenacre – Alfred Adler – Naturalistic views I: The passive subject – Hereditary/evolutionary views – Environmental views – Physiological views – Part IV: Theories of deterministic freedom – Naturalistic views II: The active subject – Philosophical antecedents: Kant – Gestalt psychology – Cognitive associationism – Other cognitive environmental views – Naturalistic views III: The active subject prolonged – Developmental approaches – Psychometric approaches: J.

In a comparative study of texts selected for their insights and occasional blind spots regarding fascist experiments of the past 100 years, Delogu examines fascism’s exploitation of fear (of change, loss, and death), disruption, and extreme inequality. The book offers an accessible and persuasive argument linking fascist authoritarianism, also called “right-wing populism,” to certain underlying conditions, such as a rise in us-versus-them thinking; distrust or simple apathy regarding democratic institutions, norms, and results; the vulnerabilities that result from extreme inequality (economic, social, racial); and addictions and codependency. Stressful events, such as a pandemic, an environmental disaster, or deep recession aggravate these harmful factors and make the fascist temptation, including the use of violence, almost irresistible. Delogu’s distinctive examination of texts that plumb the unconscious reveal linkages between actions and unavowable motives that purely historical and theoretical studies of fascism leave out.
