Liebert and Liebert's Personality is superb. Using four major strategies (Psychoanalytic, Dispositional, Environmental, Representational), the authors delve into each major theory as if they themselves had been its formulator. Then, they turn around and fervently critique the same theory they had lauded only a few pages earlier, all the while relating connections among seemingly fundamentally distinct theories. The effect is sensational. As someone who has very little background in Psychology and who is boning up on the subject in order to pursue a graduate career in the field, I thank The Liebert's for their hard work and diligent research. I look forward to the next edition.
