Synopsis:
“A splendid statement of the historical development of psychology.”—New Republic
“Provocative, penetrating, altogether worth reading.”—Contemporary Psychology
The distinguished psychologist Gordon W. Allport outlines the need for a psychology of becoming, of the growth and development of personality that he says “can best be discovered by looking within ourselves.” Modern psychology is in a dilemma, Allpost states, for it has reduced the image of man as a free, democratic being. He appraises the state of the psychology of personality and indicates its relevance to human welfare and religion.
This volume is based on the Terry Lectures, which the author delivered at Yale University in 1954.
About the Author: Gordon W. Allport (1897–1967) was a psychologist and educator who pioneered theories on personality. He is the author of Personality: A Psychological Interpretation, Nature of Prejudice, and Pattern and Growth in Personality.
