Theories of Personality: Understanding Persons, Fourth Edition

Summary: Sublime Introductory Textbook
Review: A wonderful introduction to the major personality theorists of the past century or so -- from Freud to Kelly -- written with insight, clarity, and a creative educational 'gimmick' that encourages the reader to apply the theories to many well-known personalities. Not only does the reader learn the fundamental ideas of theorists such as Jung, Adler, and Maslow; he applies those concepts to analyze the likes of Shirley MacLaine, Donald Trump, and Martin Luther King.

If a textbook could be self-actualized, this one is it. Excellent!
