"The text is exceptionally well-organized.""The arrangement of the material results in a meaningful and flowing exposition of the theorists, the theoretical constructs, relevant application/practical applications, and examples of empirical support.""I believe students will find this text easy to read and intellectually engaging.""Few texts provide the depth of material that this text offers."
"If an instructor is looking for a solid, comprehensive view of these theories, I do think that this text could be a very appropriate option."

Product Description
The Seventh Edition of Personality Theories continues its sound tradition of providing accurate and thorough coverage via an easily accessible text enhanced by pedagogical features and a focus on critical thinking. Personality Theories is designed both to explain the major personality theories and to stimulate critical thinking about them. Each chapter focuses on one theory or group of theories and provides brief biographies that shed light on how the theories were formed. Engler also provides criteria for evaluating each theory and cites current research pertaining to that theory, in addition to integrating multicultural and gender-related issues throughout the text.
