Bibliotekernes beskrivelse

Robert Ewen's "An Introduction to Theories of Personality" is designed to help students unravel the mysteries of human behaviour through its readable introduction to the ideas of the most significant theorists and related new research. Biographical sketches open each chapter and unique capsule summaries help students review key concepts. Theories come alive through the inclusion of quotations from the theorists' writings and numerous applications such as dream interpretation, psychopathology and psychotherapy. Significant changes to this sixth edition include: a reorganization according to the five major perspectives (psychodynamic, humanistic, trait, behaviourist, and cognitive) to help clarify the major approaches to personality for the student; boxes at the beginning of each chapter to highlight the theorist's objectives and what he or she was trying to accomplish; glossaries of key concepts with page references to where terms are first introduced; tables and charts to provide an overview of perspectives and help clarify distinctions and even clashes between theorists; and expanded applications to everyday life through study questions on terrorism, deception by corporate executives and more.
