This engaging text provides an overview of major classic and current theories of personality, integrating clear explanation of theory with the latest research. It features an up-to-date evaluation of the scientific status of theoretical assertions and related currently important research topics, and brings theories to life through the interpretation of illustrative biographies. It conveys the positive value of various theories in a balanced and respectful way, preparing students to apply theoretical ideas to understanding particular individuals they may encounter in their professional work and personal lives.
