Personality Theories: Critical Perspectives is the groundbreaking,
final text written by Albert Ellis, long considered the founder of
cognitive behavioral therapies. The book provides students with
supporting and contradictory evidence for the development of
personality theories through time. Without condemning the founding
theorists who came before him, Ellis builds on more than a century
of psychological research to re-examine the theories of Freud,
Jung, and Adler while taking an equally critical look at modern,
research-based theories, including his own. Features and Benefits:
Helps students develop the scientific thinking required to evaluate
current and forthcoming theories Encourages the reader to
re-examine preexisting theories Provides the missing link between
previously disparate disciplines of abnormal and normal personality
theories, a feature especially important to students in graduate
clinical programs Prepares the upper-level student for the growing
trend in clinical programs to link human behavior, personality, and
psychopathology to the neurological substrates Encourages more
focus on relevant theories than on the biographies of those who
developed them Intended Audience: This enlightening text will
provide insight into personality theory for students in courses on
personality. It should be required reading for upper-level
undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology, counseling, and
social work.
