Rating:
Summary: Relentlessly thorough; bound to be the definitive standard.
Review: Kiesler does an admirable job weaving classic, Sullivanianinterpersonal theory with contemporary perspectives, and provides a thorough review of the empirical bases for these views. Nice theoretical and empirical explanations of the circumplex models of personality and interpersonal behavior. This is a must-have resource guide that stands amazingly well on its own, and points to decades of work on the subject.
