APY 5200 ADVANCED PERSONALITY THEORIES

Students will engage in critical and creative thinking by pursuing both classic and modern views on personality. Coursework will include the reading of the classic papers (articles, books, chapters, etc.) of the most prominent personality theoreticians and analyze the essential and enduring issues in personality theory and assessment: how people are different from one another, how people think (consciously and unconsciously), what people want (consciously and unconsciously) and what and why people do. Discussions and readings will cover diverse theoretical principles and methodological approaches to personality.
