Perspectives on Personality, 6/e
As the book’s title implies, there are many perspectives a person might take on personality, and many ways to think about human nature. This book describes a range of viewpoints that are used by personality psychologists today. Each perspective on personality is presented in a pair of chapters, introduced by a prologue. The prologue provides an overview of that perspective’s orienting assumptions and core themes. By starting with these orienting assumptions, you’ll be placed right inside the thought processes of the theorists as you go on to read the chapters. Each chapter concludes with a discussion of current problems within that theoretical viewpoint and the authors’ analysis about its future prospects. Writing in an informal, conversational style, Carver and Scheier draw readers into the ideas and give them examples of how these ideas apply to their own lives. The result is a book that is engaging and enjoyable as well as informative.
