Whereas most psychology books discuss current or future trends,
this one focuses on the past. It consists of a collection of
important and historically significant writings by a select group
of men and women who, over the past 50 years, were honored by their
colleagues for their distinguished contributions to the field of
personality assessment. Published from 1939 through 1989, most of
the papers were SPA Presidential addresses or presentations by the
recipients of the Society's Distinguished Contributions Award.
Taken as a whole, they provide a unique perspective on the
evolution of personality assessment in America from the perspective
of those who have made important contributions to that history. The
writings are not merely of historical interest, but intrinsically
important scientific contributions, some of which were in danger of
being lost or forgotten. The editors feel it is important to
preserve and pass on this valuable legacy for the education and
edification of later generations. It is not only its historical
perspective that makes this book unique. This book provides
first-hand discussions of crucial issues in personality assessment
written by the gifted men and women who were actually grappling
with these problems at the time, without knowing what the outcomes
would be. Readers will find that these papers provide insights not
only into the conflicts and controversies, but also into the ideas,
attitudes, and emotions of the men and women who took part in them.
