Reviews

[⋆.˚ Ariana ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི · Rating 3 out of 5]

This needs a rereading by me.

[Margaux Kristel de la Paz · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book gives a comprehensive overview of major contributors to the understanding of personality. However, information on Harry Stack Sullivan was taken away. No chapter dedicated to Henry Murray.

Also, language became complicated at some point to completely encapsulate an understanding for some concepts.

Overall, still a good book for psychology students and practitioners in terms of understanding personality.

I gave it three stars not so much because of content but because it’s very behind compared to other psychology textbooks.
