"A splendid statement of the historical development of
psychology."--New Republic
"Provocative, penetrating, altogether worth reading."--Contemporary
Psychology
The distinguished psychologist Gordon W. Allport outlines the need for a
psychology of becoming, of the growth and development of personality
that he says "can best be discovered by looking within ourselves."
Modern psychology is in a dilemma, Allpost states, for it has reduced
the image of man as a free, democratic being. He appraises the state of
the psychology of personality and indicates its relevance to human
welfare and religion.
This volume is based on the Terry Lectures, which the author delivered
at Yale University in 1954.
