Publisher's Synopsis
This edition features the people behind the major theories, their lives as well as their contributions to the field of personality. To aid the student as knowledge accumulates, "Running Comparison" sections compare in tabular format the beliefs of all theorists covered thus far in the text. In addition, each chapter begins with a series of questions that provide context before the student begins reading, and each chapter ends with "Summary Points" and "Essay/Critical Thinking Questions" that serve as discussion-starters.
