Introduction to Theories of Personality Book

Robert Ewen’s An Introduction to Theories of Personality helps students unravel the mysteries of human behavior through its highly readable introduction to the ideas of the most significant theorists and related new research. Significant changes in the sixth edition include: a reorganization according to the five major perspectives (psychodynamic, humanistic, trait, behaviorist, and cognitive) to help clarify the major approaches to personality for the student; new boxes at the beginning of each chapter to highlight the theorist’s objectives and what he or she was trying to accomplish; new glossaries of key concepts and of theorists, to help students organize their studies; new tables and charts to help clarify distinctions between theorists; expanded applications to everyday life; an increased emphasis on the social cognitive perspective, with a chapter devoted entirely to Albert Bandura; and expanded material on the factor-analytic trait theory, with new material on the "Big Five" theory and Hans Eysenck.An Instructor’s Manual With Test Questions contains an overview of each objective noted in the chapter opening and three types of exam questions: multiple-choice, and short and long essay. Dr. Ewen’s revised text is intended for courses on theories of personality and/or psychology of personality.Read More

  • Product Description

    Intended as an introduction to the challenging field of personality theory, this work's major goals are:

    * to stimulate enthusiasm for this important and provocative area

    * to provide a solid foundation for further study

    * to promote interest in the primary sources on which this secondary one is based.

    A prologue introduces each of the five major sections of the text, and comparisons are made among the various theories where appropriate. Other special features include: integration of numerous first-hand quotations into the text, capsule summaries of important concepts throughout to help students learn the many definitions presented in each chapter, and introductions to such theoretical applications as dream interpretation, psychopathology, psychotherapy, work, religion, education, and literature.

    New to the fourth edition are individual chapter study questions designed to stimulate thought, discussion, and debate; and appendices offering case histories plus practical and personal examples to illustrate and clarify the study questions.
