Bring theory into practice with illustrative biographies, clear explanations, and the most current research

Revel™ Theories of Personality provides an overview of major classic and current theories of personality, brings theories to life through the interpretation of illustrative biographies, and integrates a clear explanation of theory with the latest research.
