This book describes how the belief systems of 13 personality theorists (i.e., Freud, Jung, Adler, Erikson, Horney, Allport, Murray, Eysenck, Maslow, Rogers, Skinner, Bandura, Kelly) have shaped major theories of personality (i.e., psychoanalysis, analytical psychology, individual psychology, ego psychology, cultural psychoanalysis, trait theory, personology, factor theory, humanistic psychology, phenomenological psychology, radical behaviorism, social cognitive theory, personal construct theory) by way of the theorist's subjective, historical, cultural, and intellectual context.
