Description
This book continues to organize the diverse content of personality in a meaningful way, presenting complex concepts in simple terms. The authors divide the diverse theories of personality into four conceptual strategies: psychoanalytic, dispositional, phenomenological and behavioural. Four fundamental issues - theory, assesment, research and personality change - are integrated into the discussion of each strategy.
