No other book integrates traditional personality theories with current research as effectively as Jerry Burger's Personality, Fifth Edition. The text's organization provides a classic and contemporary approach to the study of personality by balancing the theory chapters with the research chapters. For each school of thought (Freudian, neo-Freudian, trait, biological, humanistic, behavioral/social learning, and cognitive), a chapter on "Theory, Application, and Assessment" is followed by a chapter on "Relevant Research" to clearly illustrate how research ties in with the theories covered.
