The new Eighth Edition of Personality Theories continues to provide sound and thorough coverage enhanced with solid pedagogy, a critical-thinking focus, and integration of multicultural and gender-related issues throughout the text. Each chapter focuses on one theory or group of theories and includes brief biographies that shed light on how the theories were formed. Engler also provides criteria for evaluating each theory and cites current relevant research. A final chapter on Zen Buddhism covers a major non-Western theory of personality and serves to distinguish this program in the field.

    I am currently reading this book for my psychology of personality course. We have only read up to chapter 4, but I am already really fond of this book. The material is very well-organized, well-explained and easy to understand. It explains several different kinds of personalties and archetypes, alot of them most of us have never even heard of.

    The book was exactly what I needed!! There is some writing and things highlighted, but I’m the kind of person that appreciates that. The book was very well priced. If I had bought from my school it would’ve been over $200, so thank you!

    ^ as already mentioned. And given the price, it's in seriously good condition. I would recommend this product had it not been a textbook for class. But i can recommend the user (albeit, i'm not sure if this is the right place to be doing that). As for the text itself, I suppose its a good read.. for a textbook.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A solid reference and broad overview of the major theories of personality.
    Reviewed in the United States on 22 August 2014

    Personality Theories is a resourceful textbook that details all the chief theories of human personality and psychological development. The book begins by explaining the science and philosophy behind theory development and provides the reader an objective scale by which to gauge all subsequent models. Engler then devotes one chapter each to a personality theory or a group of theories, complete with some historical information that sheds light on who the theorists were and what influences helped to shape their postulations. Generally, the chapters are arranged in chronological order, starting with earlier models (Freud) and then progressing to more modern theories. Pertinent scientific research is cited in each chapter as well that sheds light on how each model has been externally validated. The author does (briefly) devote some time to non-Western theories at the end of the book.

    The biggest downfall of the book is its lack of highly specific detail on each theorist, but this should only be any issue unless you are pursuing an advanced degree in psychology or a related field. The level of detail should be more than adequate for a college or graduate level course. Notably, the book does dig digger with Freud. Also, specific therapeutic modalities are briefly discussed but not explained in detail great enough to allow the reader to employ said techniques in a clinical setting.

    I read (most) of this book as part of a graduate level course on “Theories of Personality.” The book has proven useful after the termination of the class and still provides educational dividends as a quick go-to reference. If you would like a general overview of human psychology and the theorists who have shaped its development, then this book will serve you well.
