Great Book, Easy to Read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I actually liked this text. Each chapter is broken into bios of the theorists and elements of their practice. They also combine various theorists if they have something in common or worked together. I would definitely keep this text to use as a reference in future Psychology classes.

Great intro to some important psychological theories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a great book. It covers many different theories on how personality works from different psychological perspectives. Each section helps the reader understand the different views of each theory of personality and how it functions within the mind. One comes away from this book understanding a little bit more about the hows and whys of personality. A great introduction to psychology in general for anybody ranging from student to non-student, specialist to non-specialist. I highly recommend it.
