Integrating theory and research through comparative analysis, the author offers a work that helps readers think through the most promising views of personality. Through Maddi's comparative analytic approach, research becomes theory-relevant and theory becomes empirically sound. In the process, the whole person emerges clearly. This edition permits consideration of each theory all in one place. Maddi has simplified the style and vocabulary to make the information clearer and more direct.

Salvatore Maddi's Classic Text - Personality theories,
By A Customer
This review is from: Personality Theories : A Comparative Analysis (Paperback)
Throughout my years of teaching personality theories both to undergraduates and graduates, I have not found a better text. This text provides teacher and student with much more than a brief smattering of theorist history and basic concepts. It is a critical analysis of the major theorists' concepts, and it helps readers to think deeply about these theories and to make higher level evaluations of the theorists' reasoning. Its sixth edition now includes more current personality theories, and consistent with past editions, this text also provides readers with relevant research findings. I recommend it highly. My students throughout the years have really loved this book and appreciated the author's approach and level of understanding. Dr. Khoshaba

Excellent review of personology !,
This review is from: Personality Theories: A Comparative Analysis (Psychology) (Hardcover)
In this comprehensive and voluminous tome, Salvatore Maddi presents what must be the seminal review of personality psychology today. This book does not only present fair and detailed accounts of various theories of personality, but also succeeds in capturing the reader's imagination and truly represents personology as a fascinating and uplifting discipline. Additionally, the second section of Maddi's work features discussions of empirical and rational support for various theories, as seen from within the author's proposed conceptual framework for clarifying personality theory. This book is an indispensable guide for all students of Psychology or Philosophy

Phenomenal,
This review is from: Personality Theories : A Comparative Analysis (Paperback)
As a former student of Dr. Maddi's, I found this book to be quite helpful in understanding multiple theorists standpoints. It is an excellent resource for both undergraduate and graduate students. I am currently a graduate student in Clinical Psychology and I highly recommend this text for those interesting in understanding different perspectives in personality functioning.
