Theories of Personality
Everybody has one, although how people in their almost infinite variety became the way they are has been a subject of theoretical speculation first in theology, then in philosophy, and, more recently, in psychology. Modern developments in counselling and psychotherapy trace their roots to personality development theories first conceived by Alfred Adler, Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, Carl Rogers, B. F. Skinner, Harry Stack Sullivan, and others. Their views provide the subject matter for this course. Emphasis will be placed upon contemporary clinical expressions of these approaches.
