Theories of Personality provides a fresh look into personality theory through clear explanations and the most current research. This overview of the major theories of personality, classic and current encourages you to think critically. Author Susan Cloninger shows how understanding other people can benefit us both academically and practically. Real-life examples illustrate the major concepts of personality theory.

The 7th Edition offers discussions of relevant topics such as bullying, epigenetics and more. The author digs deeper into various theorists' lives, covering the controversy over perceived racism in the theories of Cattell and Jung, and the abusive behavior of Maslow's mother. Discussions of contemporary thinking have been integrated into the coverage of theoretical concepts.
