From the author's preface: "This book is intended as an introduction to the field of personality theory. The major goals are to provide a solid foundation for further study, to stimulate enthusiasm for this important and provocative area, and to promote interest in the primary sources on which this secondary one is based. I have sought to implement these objectives in the following ways [by including]: first-hand quotations.; capsule summaries of neologisms [and key concepts; ] .[discussion of] theoretical applications; .[a] common framework [among chapters] to facilitate comparisons among the various theories.mention is made at times of important similarities and differences among the various theories [though].each chapter and subchapter stands on its own; coverage.of the 11 most important theorists plus 5 of the following 6, and Murray, who ranked 19th [according to two polls of those who teach theories of personality]; .and study questions." In addition, Dr. Ewen states that he has "sought to maintain a readable and interesting style, without sacrificing accuracy or scholarliness. In most cases I have begun each chapter with [a photograph and biographical sketch of the theorist, including].a significant anecdote from the theorist's life, and used this to lead into his or her theory.[As to general approach, ] each chapter in this text is based on the work of a specific theorist (or theorists).To study grand theories is to study the work of truly brilliant and creative thinkers. Thus the study of personality theory, as presented herein, is educational in the truest sense of the word.It will.enable students to acquire a breadth of concepts and principles that they can use to unravel the mysteries of human behavior." -- with a bonus offer--; Seller Inventory # 19875
