Theories of Personality: A Systems Approach Lester David
Designed as a text for both graduate and undergraduate students, this book, originally published in 1995, presents an intrapsychic explanation of human behaviour - concepts based on psychological processes and 'structures' within the mind. It focuses on Freud, Kelly and Angyal: Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality based on desires, Kelly's personal construct theory for thinking, and Angyal's holistic concepts of personality.Each theory is given a detailed analysis in separate chapters. In this context, a unique treatment of personality theory is introduced.
Although Angyal's holistic theory is rarely described in modern textbooks, Lester includes this Freud's psychoanalytic theory is cast as a theory of motivation, Kelly's personal construct theory as a theory of cognition, and then it is noted that there is no comprehensive theory of personality based on emotion.
