Description
Dan McAdams' The Person, Fourth Edition reflects the dramatic developments that the field of personality psychology has seen in the past two decades by presenting a unifying vision of what personality psychology is and should be for the 21st century.  It is a vision that reintegrates the classic theories with contemporary research  by linking it all to a central question, "What do we know when we know a person?" 

The Fourth Edition has been thoroughly revised and is organized so that the first section provides an expanded treatment of the fundamental contexts for understanding personality: human evolution and culture. In the next three large sections of the text, the three main levels of personality are considered. Level 1: Dispositional Traits, Level 2: Characteristic Adaptations and Level 3: Integrative Life Stories
