This is an electronic textbook ("e-text") created for undergraduate and graduate courses in Personality Theories. While it is copyrighted, you may download it or print it out without permission from the author, as long as the material is used only for personal or educational purposes, and the source is indicated. I hope you enjoy the chapters!

To read about my own personality theory, see Perspectives Theory and Seven Perspectives.

Dr. H. Berryman Edwards offers the BehaveNet Clinical Capsules:  Notable figures in behavioral health care, which include good readings lists as well as therapists not covered here.
