Description and Table of Contents
Description
This comprehensive, reader-friendly text has been revised and updated by the theorist behind major movements in personality studies - Bem Allen. His presentation of theorists' lives as well as their contributions to the field of personality, coupled with an outstanding pedagogical program, separates this text from others on the market. The "Running Comparison" sections employ a tabular format to stack the beliefs of all theorists encountered thus far in the text against one another. In addition, each chapter begins with a series of leading questions that provide context before the student begins reading. "Summary Points" and "Essay/Critical Thinking Questions" wrap up each chapter, serving as excellent discussion-starters. Diversity issues are also highlighted as part of Allen's humanistic approach. All of these elements - including a conversational writing style - help students appreciate the contributions of these major theorists in an easy-to-follow format.
