Through analysis of the lives and theories of the three major
exponents of humanism, Allport, Maslow, and Murray, the authors
have marshaled some compelling arguments for an alternative to the
extreme behaviorism of Skinner and the logical positivism of Freud.
This work is a concise, clear synthesis of both broad theoretical
positions and specific concepts that underlie humanistic
psychology.The "Third Force" (humanism) suggests that man possesses
both freedom and dignity and that he possesses them in the face of
an often hostile and coercive society. Thus, exponents of humanism
conducted their personality experiments in a natural environment,
imposing few, if any, external controls.A compact example of
critical evaluation at its best, Humanism in Personology stands
alone in its successful attempt to correlate the theory of humanism
as it exists today with an incisive study of the men who shaped its
course. Maddi and Costa proceed from the level of metatheory to a
lucid presentation of the specific constructs of three personality
psychologists.The book contains an extensive theoretical summary
table explaining the theoretical differences between Allport,
Maslow, and Murray. Also featured is a comprehensive glossary of
personality terms which is exceedingly valuable for new students in
the field. Intended as a supplementary text for undergraduate
courses in personality, social psychology, human development, human
socialization, or philosophy, this work is also a valuable resource
for clinicians, teachers, guidance counselors, graduates, and
undergraduates in psychology.
