For upper-level courses in Personality Theory and Personal Adjustment. Unique in its cross-cultural, global, and gender-balanced perspectives-and with an emphasis on humanistic and transpersonal psychologists-this text explores the positive aspects of major personality theorists, stressing each one's relevance for personal understanding. Highly praised for its exceptionally well-written style and accessibility, it encourages and supports students in using themselves as the primary touchstone for each theory. Each chapter gives them opportunities to validate their insights through direct experience, and, by observing their own reactions, come to their own conclusions about the utility and value of each theory.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Once again we have made changes to improve the readability of the book, make it useful and more current, without losing the emphasis that we have maintained since the first edition. We present students with a book that encourages and supports them in using themselves as the primary touchstone for each theory. Each chapter gives them opportunities to validate their insights through direct experience and, by observing their own reactions, come to their own conclusions about the utility and value of each theory.
Each chapter still focuses on the strong aspects of the theory and the reasons why it is still in wide use, rather than its limitations. We intend that students be able to test and retest the validity or utility of these theories against their own life experience and common sense.
We also know that most of the students who use this text will not go on to do graduate work or become professional psychologists. Those that do have told us that this book served them well as a reference in their further training, while those who do not go on tell us that their understanding of the issues raised here have enriched their lives.
For teachers and authors, it doesn't get much better than that.
While expert proponents of each theory have been able to point us to areas where their theory has been successfully applied, all of them acknowledge that the research about their theory, while valuable and exciting, is not definitive enough to allow them to say that an opposing viewpoint could not be valid. Thus we have included research data only when it clarifies the theory under discussion.
We wish that we could have included additional theorists whose work has moved the field forward, but for reasons of space and our inclusion of areas beyond the scope of many other texts, we could not. We have, however, included in our teaching guide several minichapters on theories and theorists not included here (sent to us by brilliant teachers whose expertise exceeded our own). Instructors can copy and distribute them in classes as they choose.
New to the Fifth Edition
We have to tell you the truth. Very few of the theorists in this book have written original material since our last edition. Therefore, we took this occasion to look at the text itself. We went through every line of every chapter asking two questions:
How could this be stated more clearly? Is this line or section really necessary? Every chapter was improved and shortened. Most chapters, even after our subsequent additions, are no longer than they were before. Not totally surprising, we found errors that had eluded our own four revisions plus four editors suggestions plus four proofreaders detailed scrutiny. Please let us know what else we missed.
New Pedagogy
Web Sites. Since our students have become used to the Web, we have been able to offer far more challenging assignments. Students are able to follow more specialized interests, even with limited access to conventional academic libraries. They soon discover that there is a wonderful quirkiness to some web sites that never could have gotten past an academic press. In addition, there are an ever growing number of professors world-wide, who post their own ways of working with each of our theorists. Students are no longer limited to either our views nor the views of their instructor. We have included enough web sites for each theory to give students an easy opening set of choices.
Please send us your own favorite web sites if we have overlooked them. Contact us at either rfrager@earthlink.net or Jfadiman@aol.com.
New Chapter. We have taken the chapter on George Kelly's personal construct psychology and cognitive psychology and made each one a separate chapter. The new Kelly chapter was written by three of the country's most widely known practitioners and researchers in personal construct psychology: Franz Epting of the University of Florida in Gainsville, Larry Leiter of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and Jonathan Raskin of the State University of New York at New Paltz. They convinced us that our prior view of Kelly, identifying him as a cognitive theorist, was based on an insufficient understanding of his work. We now know that Kelly belongs in the lineage of the humanistic theorists, including Rogers and Maslow. His work is profoundly optimistic, and the therapy derived from his work is decidedly pragmatic.
Changes by Chapter. As we have noted, every chapter has had extensive internal changes: text editing, updated references, and the addition of Web sites. We also changed the order of chapters so that theorists more closely linked to one another follow one after the other. Beyond that, major changes in specific chapters include the following:
- Chapter 4—Carl Gustav Jung and Analytic Psychology. The chapter has been considerably rewritten to make Jung's complex concepts more understandable. In particular, we have added references to current research that have applied Jungian theory in new areas.
- Chapter 5—Alfred Adler and Individual Psychology. We have expanded and rewritten the summary of Adler's basic theoretical approach and have included references to cross-cultural applications of Adlerian theory.
- Chapter 6—Karen Horney and Humanistic Psychoanalysis. The section on therapy is totally new and incorporates the recently discovered and never-before published lectures that Horney gave to therapists in training.
- Chapter 7—The Psychology of Women. In the last edition, this was the most radical chapter in the book. It is more radical now. We tossed aside our usual format so that we might make as strong an impact on students as possible. The content directly questions many of the assertions made in almost every other chapter. To make the theory more vivid, we have included a description of what can happen when a woman applies these insights to herself. The writer, Rebecca Caldwell, generously allowed us to include it here.
In addition we have added a section by Jennifer Clements, a member of a group of researchers who have applied the insights developed by the Stone Center staff to creating new ways to do research. "Organic inquiry" makes use of the basic assumptions of relationship and equality, which not only impacts the kinds of research that can be attempted, but also its effects on the subjects, the researcher, and the eventual readers as well. - Chapter 8—Erik Erikson and the Life Cycle. We have revealed the central role played by Joan Erikson as a coauthor and collaborator with her husband. She has been underestimated or ignored completely in most discussions of Erikson's work. We have also added a new major section on recent developments, including research and writing on identity and generativity.
- Chapter 9—Wilhelin Reich and Somatic Psychology. We have trimmed down the chapter and added new references, including a recent publication of Reich's journals and an overview of the principles and practices of somatic therapies.
- Chapter 10—William James and the Psychology of Consciousness. The entire chapter has been cleaned and upgraded by Eugene Taylor of Harvard University. He has, as he said, "corrected numerous minor points," added several new sections on James' basic orientation, and added sections on James' own work in psychedelics, meditation, parapsychology, and multiple personality.
- Chapter 11—B. F. Skinner and Radical Behaviorism. When Skinner died, the vast galaxy of his opponents, having no one to slug it out with went on to argue other issues. As a result, there has been a lessening of active interest in Skinner. We have made less of the issues that Skinner fought about and focused more on his tremendous impact on all of psychology.
- Chapter 13—George Kelly and Personal Construct Psychology. All new, as described above.
- Chapter 14—Carl Rogers and the Person-Centered Perspective. A number of changes have been made to align the chapter's basic concepts with Roger's growing influence, especially outside the United States.
- Chapter 15—Abraham Maslow and Transpersonal Psychology. We have included new material on transpersonal theorists including Stanislav Grof and Ken Wilber.
- Chapter 16—Yoga and the Hindu Tradition. We have added new material comparing the basic principles among contemplative disciplines.
- Chapter 17—Zen and the Buddhist Tradition. The Buddhism chapter includes a discussion comparing the Buddhist concept of the self with that of Karen Hornet' and Western psychological theory in general, as well as a comparison of Buddhist and psychoanalytic theories.
- Chapter 18—Sufism and the Islamic Tradition. The chapter includes new citations from the poet Rumi and from other noted Sufi poets. The whole chapter has been reshaped by the inclusion of material from a major new book on Sufism and psychology.
The Teacher Guide
Instructors, make sure you have one. Berate our publisher if you don't. We have added a new minichapter on the Kaballah (the Jewish mystical tradition) and clarified the minichapter on the Native American tradition. We have added new class and homework exercises to a number of chapters and, as we did with the text, edited it throughout. It has the usual wide range of exam questions and the like, but most of the guide is filled with ways to allow you to more easily teach each chapter, as we do not expect every instructor to know such a wide range of theorists equally well.
We remain open to your inputs, your criticisms, and your suggestions.
We thank our reviewers whose suggestions and corrections strengthened major portions of the text. These reviewers are Beverly J. Goodwin, Ph.D.-Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Myron M. Arons, Ph.D.-State University of West Georgia, and John Robertson, Ph.D.-...

2 chapters are not current to the latest addition.
By Jojo
This book was for my Psych Class.. Here's the deal. Most chapters are included in this book. You have to search for the title not by the # for this reason for you assignments. Some chapters are totally different so you will need access to your college campus library to go to the reserve desk and check out your book for a couple hours for those days. It was worth the savings for me. I think only 2 chapters so far were different or not included. I have an A in my class. So there you go!

Personailtty and personal growth
By Elaine J. Copeland
This text is organized in a way that allows the reader to examine each personality theory in the context in which the theorist lived. The authors provide a historical context and present the antecedents that helped to shape each theorist's own personal growth. Students began to understand how and why psychological theory was shaped during a particular period in history and the disciplines that provide the framework of theory development. Each theorist is presented as a person whose life and experiences contributed to their subjective and objective methods used in the development of their paarticular theory. The reader is encouraged to crtical evaluate the theory and the theorists within an historical context. and to engage in self examination as well. It is an excelent text for students who are beganning to study theorys of personality.
