This text surveys the theories of personality, presenting major theorists who represent the psychoanalytic, neopsychoanalytic, life-span, trait, humanistic, cognitive, behavioural, and social-learning approaches, as well as clinical and experimental work. Where warranted, the authors show how the development of certain theories was influenced by events in a theorist's personal and professional life. This revised sixth edition incorporates additional examples, tables, and figures to help bring the material to life for students. The text also explores how race, gender, and culture issues figure in the study of personality and in personality assessment. Also new to this edition is a final integrative chapter that looks at the study of personality theories and suggests conclusions that can be drawn from the theorists' work. The material in that chapter is organized around the issues of: genetics, environment, learning, parental influences, developmental aspects, consciousness, and unconscious influences.

Format:Hardcover
I really thought this book was helpful. I bought this book to complement another book I had trouble understanding. I finished this book in a couple of days in time to complete a research paper. You can't find many easy reading books like this one.

In depth theorist/theory information
8 Jan 2008
By T. Hufnagel
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I have enjoyed this textbook because it gives a lot more information about the theorist and their theory develpment than many other Psychology textbooks. It is interesting to read about their lives, and understand more of the reasoning behind the development of their theories.

Schultz & Schultz's *Theories of Personality* is incredibly well written, concise, and a pleasure to read. The information is presented in a way that is both in-depth and easy to understand. This text provides background information on theorists, their theoretical contributions, and loads of current research on aspects of each theory. A+ for Schultz & Schultz! Highly recommended for all students of psychology, and all professors of personality!
