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.

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. Index: Introduction – The puzzle – The savage infant: Freud's psycho-analysis – Pigeon people: B. F. Skinner's behaviourism – Flower people: Carl Rogers's self theory – Lonely liberals: Erich FROMM's neo-Freudianism – Merely players: The social behaviourism of role theory and G. H.Mead – The knowing scientists: George Kelly's construct theory – The mystery – Epilogue – Sources – Suggestions for further reading.

In this comprehensive volume, the first of a two-volume set, the development of ideas linking psychopathology, diagnosis, and personality is traced from the ancient Greeks and Romans through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the contemporary world. The understanding of personality structure throughout this broad historical context, including contributions of early pioneers, Freud, post-Freudians, typologists, ego psychologists, and object relations theorists, is reviewed and embedded in this historical perspective. / Volume I assesses each historical period in terms of its impact on the understanding of psychopathology. In addition, each period is identified in terms of its philosophical underpinnings. Convenient summaries and tables provide the reader with a basic view of the salient contributions of each era regarding the vicissitudes of personality and psychopathology. / A central concern in Volume I is the delineation of the two major competing themes regarding psychopathology which emerge throughout history. These competing themes are pointed out and their shifting emphasis explored from era to era. The first theme views the development of psychopathology in relation to both intrapersonal phenomena and interpersonal dynamics; the Secon theme relates psychopathology to biological and organic factors. The contributions, contrasts, and integration of these perspectives are presented and related to a broad spectrum of contemporary thinking regarding personality, psychopathology, and diagnosis. – Index: Preface Acknowledgments Part I: Antiquity – The historical roots of psychopathology and diagnosis – Hipprocrates: The first classifier – The later Greek philosophers – The Roman period Part II: The Middle Ages and the Renaissance – The Middle Ages – The Renaissance Part III: The modern world – The modern world and the study of psychopathology – The age of enlightenment: The eighteenth century – Nineteenth-century interest in the nature of psychopathology Part IV: Nosological systems and the appearance of Sigmund Freud – The reemergence of the physical approach and early classification schemes – Precursors to Freudian psychology and the dynamic understanding of psychopathology – Sigmund Freud Part V: Typologies and followers of Freud – Typologies – Freud's personality types – Followers of Freud: Horney, FROMM, and Erickson Adler and Sullivan Part VI: Contemporary views: Ego psychology and object relations – Ego psychology – Object relations – Object relations and ego psychology: Comparisons and combinations – Conclusion References and suggested readings.
