PS3126 Psychology of Personality
This course offers an understanding and working knowledge of basic theories of personality, including those of Freud, Adler, Jung, Miller, Rogers, Maslow and Mahler. Assessment inventories such as the MMPI, projective techniques such as the TAT, and taxonomies of personality traits are examined. Students also critically explore coping patterns and mental health as a result of personality differences. The concept of self via humanistic psychology and social learning theory are contrasted with a psychodynamic approach to personality.
