Paradigms of Personality

by Jane Loevinger

Book Overview

Using T.S. Kuhn's model of scientific revolutions as a framework, this book presents five major theories of personality: psychoanalysis, behaviourism, psychometric traits, social learning theory, and cognitive developmentalism. Each theory provides unique access to a different facet of the person: the dynamic unconscious, behaviour and its control, traits, social behaviour and cognition, and character development.
