Personality. An interdisciplinary approach

"The text which follows these introductory lines makes no pretense at covering the entire field of personality. Such an accomplishment seems destined to come about far in the future. However, this work, which is based largely on recent considerations, was written in the belief that there is needed as broad a coverage of the problem of personality as is now possible. It has been the belief of the authors for some time that such a book, prepared in organized and readable style, should be made available to students and others interested in this significant subject. Personality: An Interdisciplinary Approach has been written as a text for college and university courses entitled personality, development of personality, dynamics of personality, and the like. It contains much material which would be useful as well in courses in mental hygiene, child psychology and development, and educational psychology. The aim of the present work frankly has been pragmatic. The authors have asked themselves the question, Will the data presented be of some practical value? Personality, it should be evident, is part of the larger problem which makes up the lives of all members of a still young democratic society. With an interdisciplinary point of view as their guide and human need as the yardstick, students of personality hope to carry to completion their interesting work"--Preface.
