Beneath the Mask

Following a theorist-by-theorist approach to personality theories, this book uncovers how the personal histories, conflicts, and intentions of each theorist contributed to his or her portraits of people. Theories are introduced with scrupulous attention to historical, experimental, and clinical research.

Description

Beneath the Mask presents classic theories of human nature, much as each theorist might if they were to teach their ideas to people encountering them for the first time. Through a theorist-by-theorist approach, this Eighth Edition continues to explore the ideas of personality theorists developmentally, incorporating the personal origins of ideas to illuminate links between the psychology of each theorist and that theorist's own psychology of persons.

Beneath the Mask presents the "sequence of thinking" for more than 20 theorists and demonstrates how the thinking that led to major theories is nested in the life experience of the theorists within the context of the surrounding culture. The authors emphasise each theorist's life history as the basis for the ideas that constitute their theories, making them easier to understand as "pictures of human nature."

John P. Wilson has revised the text in a manner that preserves and improves upon the best features of the late Robert N. Sollod and Christopher Monte's work.
