Personality in Layers

This textbook is a unique introduction to theories of personality. It is organized in 7 layers, from the most physical - behavior - to the most ethereal - connections with a higher power. It covers the main theories of personality including behaviorism, trait theories, cognitive models, habits, irrational thoughts, defense mechanisms, the effect of society on personality, and spiritual experiences. There are many excerpts from primary sources and examples from everyday life built into each layer.
