Review of Personality a Psychological Interpretation

Abstract

Reviews the book, Personality a Psychological Interpretation by G. W. Allport (see record 193801964-000), stating that Allport's purpose in writing the book is twofold: (1) to gather into a single comprehensive survey the most fruits of the psychological study of personality and (2) to supply new coordinating concepts and theories where they will equip this new department of psychology for a more adequate handling of its endlessly rich subject matter. The reviewer feels that the book will be a landmark in the history of personality study, and probably in the general history of psychology. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
