Filled with updated research and findings, the Eighth Edition of Schultz and Schultz's THEORIES OF PERSONALITY gives students a clear and cogent introduction to this dynamic field. Organized by theory, this popular text discusses major theorists who represent psychoanalytic, neopsychoanalytic, life-span, trait, humanistic, cognitive, behavioral, and social-learning approaches, while demonstrating the influence of events in theorists' personal and professional lives on the development of these theories. The book also explores the ways in which race, gender, and cultural issues play a part in the study of personality and in personality assessment, and includes numerous examples, tables, and figures that further enhance students' understanding of the content. The final chapter, "Personality in Perspective," integrates topics explored in previous chapters and suggests conclusions that can be drawn from the many theorists' work.

"The text is precise, well written, and uses up to date research, that is pertinent to students today. The style of writing is almost 'orally' communicated, as if the authors are setting down in a classroom designed for conversational discussion of the topic of Personality development."
"I've never seen a personality text as good (as Schultz/Schultz), and the students love it. The fact that students actually read the book and report favorably on it is the number one reason I'd be reluctant to change even if I discovered a book I liked more, which hasn't happened yet."
