Synopsis
Perhaps the central question of psychology involves how personality―personhood―is formed. The twin factors or causes, of nature (genetics) versus nurture (environment), always lurk and subtly interplant in an epigenetic synthesis.
This book, for professions as well as for general readers, identifies and consolidates an understanding of personality development, personality type, and personality style. Twelve Styles are identified and displayed through case examples. Examined is the powerful organizing principle of how emotion, especially anger, is managed. A detailed glossary helps guide the reader.

Review
The usual explanations for how a person s personality develops is some combination of nurture and nature, that is, the influence and experiences with other people combined with genetic factors beginning with gender. In Personality: How It Forms, author and psychologist Henry Kellerman focuses upon the psychology involved with personality development and personhood formation. Twelve distinctive styles or categories of human personality are identified and illustrated through case examples. Of special note is Kellerman s commentary on the role of emotions, such as anger, are an organizing principle for personality development and maintenance. Enhanced with an extensive glossary, Personality: How It Forms is especially recommended for non-specialist general readers with an interest in personality development." --Midwest Book Review, Library Bookwatch August 2012
