UNDERSTANDING PERSONALITY

Author: F. L. Harmon

In this book, the author has attempted to survey with the reader a large and rapidly expanding field of modern science the psychology of personality. Since the area covered is so extensive, it is scarcely to be hoped that any writer, singlehanded and in one volume, could do full justice to it all; since it is a field of science, it is hardly in order to expect that the final word on any of the questions treated should have been spoken to date. On the other hand, it is precisely because of its tremendous scope and its still unfolding possibilities, that many of us find the psychology of personality so fascinating a subject .
