Merging the best of classic and contemporary research, THEORIES OF PERSONALITY, 10E takes a unique "theory by theory" approach that carefully guides readers through major theories on their way to a solid working knowledge of personality. Offering a straightforward presentation, the book provides a framework that defines personality and emphasizes the science of personality before introducing the basic concepts and principles of the major theoretical positions. It concludes by noting the ways in which the different theories stimulate additional research efforts and by presenting five current research trends resulting from the work of these earlier theorists.
