This unit will introduce students to the development of personality theory from the late 19th century to the present time. A range of theories and theorists will be examined reflecting the dominant analytic, phenomenological, humanistic and cognitive paradigms. Each theory will be explored in relation to the historical, cultural and social context from which it emerged and the personal history of the originating theorist. No theory will be viewed in isolation, rather each will be evaluated and compared in relation to the others. -- Course Website
