| Publisher Description: The 8th edition of "Theories of Personality" follows in the tradition of the previous versions by centering on the premise that personality theories are a reflection of the unique cultural background, family experiences, personalities, and professional training of their originators. The text begins by acquainting students with the meaning of personality and providing them with a solid foundation for understanding the nature of theory, as well as its crucial contributions to science. The chapters that follow present 23 major theories. Coverage of each theory also encompasses a biographical sketch of each theorist, related research, and applications to real life.
