It is the influence of personality characteristics affecting our social and occupational choices. The development of personality characteristics occurs not during one but each developmental stage of the lifespan. This book discusses such theories as those belonging to Erik Erikson, Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, Sigmund Freud, Erich Fromm, and Gordon Allport, among other theorists. The greatest focus of the book centers on Gordon Allport and Erich Fromm and his humanistic psychoanalysis.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 706
Hardly a day goes by that we don’t hear about someone committing a violent, reprehensible, even evil, act. And each time it happens, before we know anything about the circumstances, we are already sure of one thing: We are nothing like that perpetrator. But how can we be so sure? After all, we are all human. In Understanding the Dark Side of Human Nature, Professor Daniel Breyer takes us on a fascinating philosophical journey into many of the deepest and darkest questions that have engaged humanity for millennia.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 48
The Interpretation of Dreams is the book that Sigmund Freud considered his most important and that forever changed the way we think about our dreams. Here, Freud explained his discoveries about why we dream, what we dream, and what our dreams mean. In this groundbreaking work, Freud further demonstrated that it is in the treatment of abnormal mental states that dream analysis is the most valuable. He claimed that dreams not only reveal to us the cryptic mechanisms of phobias, obsessions, and delusions but also are the most potent weapon in the healing of them.

Publisher's Summary
Theories of Personality speaks in depth of the four major categories of personality theory: psychodynamic, humanistic/existential, dispositional and learning theories. Each theory within these four classifications is attached to a theorist describing in depth the details to his or her theory. These theories of personality are 100 years in the making, and although the theories may conflict one another, each theory binds the four classifications into a single unit of personality theory.
Learning about a theorist's theory is to learn about the individual. These great minds would document their work for all to see for years to come. Enjoy this unique compilation of their work put together as a single unit describing the theories of personality in detail.

Semi-passable narration, but good insight
Could have used a narrator with more convincing awareness of subject matter. This material is far too important to be brought down many notches by an uninterested voice.

Boring performance!
Besides the shortcomings of the book itself, the narrator’s style of reading, flat speech rate and volume , unnecessary accents on specific points in a sentence, and obvious numerous re-recordings all strongly suggest that the narrator either not really familiar or interested in the subject she was reading or it was just a “job” she was performing devoid of warmth or any scholarly passion! The reading of a book should encourage the listener to know more about the subject and ignite enthusiasm! So disappointed!

Terribly Narrator
It was extremely hard to concentrate on materials being read because it sounded like the narrator was intoxicated at times. She slurred her words so much I could not understand what she was saying at times. I stopped listening , I could not take it anymore!

Helpful study tool
The recording quality and entertainment value could be improved, but it allows the listener to study and revise while on the move, which was helpful.
