Items related to Personality Theories: An Introduction
Synopsis
The new Eighth Edition of Personality Theories continues to provide sound and thorough coverage enhanced with solid pedagogy, a critical-thinking focus, and integration of multicultural and gender-related issues throughout the text. Each chapter focuses on one theory or group of theories and includes brief biographies that shed light on how the theories were formed. Engler also provides criteria for evaluating each theory and cites current relevant research. A final chapter on Zen Buddhism covers a major non-Western theory of personality and serves to distinguish this program in the field.

Review
"This text is well organized and is very readable.""The Chapters are well organized, and the coverage is good [...] this makes the text standout from some others that are not as well written."
"The text is exceptionally well-organized.""The arrangement of the material results in a meaningful and flowing exposition of the theorists, the theoretical constructs, relevant application/practical applications, and examples of empirical support.""I believe students will find this text easy to read and intellectually engaging.""Few texts provide the depth of material that this text offers."
"If an instructor is looking for a solid, comprehensive view of these theories, I do think that this text could be a very appropriate option."
