| Summary: | "The purpose of this book is to provide a guide for the systematic study of a personality--especially one's own. Self-understanding is perhaps most difficult in the area of interpersonal relations, and it is there that many people feel most puzzled about themselves. Hence, Part I deals with some of the factors and principles involved in interpersonal relations. In Part II there is a discussion of the purposes of self-study; of the sources of information, concepts, and categories useful in the study of personality; and of suggestions for organizing such a study. This is followed by a series of carefully outlined projects which will help the reader develop greater insight into the origins, development, and organization of his own personality. The final chapters present an outline for the study of a personality and an example of an actual self-study"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved)
