Die menschliche Persönlichkeit ist (und bleibt) ein Rätsel, mit dessen Lösung sich bereits Generationen von Psychologen auseinandergesetzt haben. Klinische Fallstudien und empirische Forschungen lieferten im Laufe der Zeit Details, die sich zu einem faszinierenden, aber keineswegss vollständigen Bild zusammenfügen. Dieses Buch zieht eine Bilanz der Leistungen klassischer und moderner Ansätze von Freud und Rogers bis zur kognitiven Informationsverarbeitung, wobei die wichtigsten Theorien sehr detailliert besprochen werden. Ausführlich diskutiert wird auch der Wert alternativer Methoden. (01/01)
