Gambaran yang cukup lengkap tentang teori-teori psikologi kepribadian berbagai aliran. Yang menarik dan saya pikir merupakan keunikan buku ini ialah mencantumkan posisi teori pada 9 basic assumptions tentang hakikat manusia, yang meliputi rentang Freedom-Determinism, Rationality-Irrationality, Holism-Elementalism, Constitutionalism-Environmentalism, Changeability-Unchangeability, Subjectivity-Objectivity, Proactivity-Reactivity, Homeostasis-Heterostasis, dan Knowability-Unknowability.
