Product Description
The fully revised second edition of this classic text ushers the study of personality into the 21st century. Chapters from foremost authorities provide a historical overview of modern personality theory, bring major theoretical perspectives into focus, and report on the current state of the science in a range of key domains. Documenting the ongoing evolution of psychoanalytic, trait, social cognitive, and interactional approaches, the volume explores the dynamic interface between personality psychology and other disciplines. In particular, the recent explosion of knowledge about biological aspects of personality is reflected in chapters on evolutionary psychology, behavioral genetics, neuroscience, and temperament. Major research is also presented on such defining topics as the self; the psychological unconscious; motivational processes; emotion and emotion regulation; stress, coping, and health; interpersonal behavior; personality assessment; and more.

Excellent condition & speedy delivery!
I recieved the book in wonderful time and in excellent condition. I had one concern: The cover was a different color from the example on website. That made me wonder if I had the correct book. Display book that customer will receive via mail. I will continue to use Amazon because the product was exactly what I needed!

good survey and reference book
There's not much I can add to the editorial reviews. It's a handbook, it's comprehensive, if you're a serious participant in the field you ought to make yourself familiar with this book. It's 27 chapters of personality by the big names in the field. Seven chapters on "Theoretical Perspectives" (psychoanalytic, cognitive, etc.), 7 on the "Interface with Other Fields" (biology, genetics, social psychology, etc.), and a slew of chapters on "Research Topics" like gender, the unconscious, and personality change. A great reference book; a good survey.
