Personality Analysis and Interpretation of Lives

In this introduction to the psychology of personality, author David Winter gives a comprehensive account of the main lines of personality theory and research. Unlike most texts in the area of personality, whose research is limited to the last fifty years, Winter takes a much broader approach. Believing that the study of personality should go beyond a review of recent American psychology research, this book sets the study of personality in a much broader context. The book does not limit itself to traditional personality research literature. The approach is multi-disciplinary, with citations from Shakespeare, as well as brief excursions into history, sociology, anthropology, political science, and philosophy.Winter, David G. is the author of 'Personality Analysis and Interpretation of Lives' with ISBN 9780070711297 and ISBN 0070711291.
