This book draws out the essence of a range of personality theories
in a clear and accessible way, moving from the seminal works of
Freud and other prominent analytical theorists, to the stage
theories of Erikson and Levinson and the development of personality
as it is viewed in existential and person-centred theory. The
text:*Highlights the salient points of different personality
theories *Critiques the theories *Examines important aspects of
personality development neglected by previous books on this topic
such as spirituality and the development of racial identity and
gender. The book reflects strongly on the context from which the
theories sprang and seeks to trace how this context has influenced
the theorists and their disciples. It also highlights the
similarities between the concepts and structure of many of the
theories. The authors, both themselves experienced counsellors and
trainers, try to evaluate which elements of the theories can be
useful to the work of the therapist in the twenty first century.
The book is illustrated by examples from their case work.
Personality Development is a valuable new resource for
practitioners, lecturers and trainers as well as students of
counselling, psychotherapy and psychology.
