Description
For upper-level courses in Personality Theory and Personal Adjustment.
Unique in its cross-cultural, global, and gender-balanced perspectives-and with an emphasis on humanistic and transpersonal psychologists-this text explores the positive aspects of major personality theorists, stressing each one's relevance for personal understanding. Highly praised for its exceptionally well-written style and accessibility, it encourages and supports students in using themselves as the primary touchstone for each theory. Each chapter gives them opportunities to validate their insights through direct experience, and, by observing their own reactions, come to their own conclusions about the utility and value of each theory.
