Beschreibung:
"The second edition of The Cambridge Handbook of Personality Psychology is a major update of the 2008 first edition. It is different in a number of crucial respects. Firstly, and most importantly, chapters are longer, more detailed and pitched at a higher level, which will better meet the needs of graduate students, researchers, and more seasoned academics. Secondly, there is now a more even and adequate coverage of the whole of personality psychology - not only compared to the first edition but, we believe, to similar handbooks on the market. Thirdly, the first edition had separate chapters on a number of psychopathological disorders; for conceptual depth and clarity, the second edition has fewer chapters of a more integrative and comprehensive character. They focus on the relationships between personality and clinical psychology, models of mental health, and anxiety, depression and cognitive dysfunction - there is also a related chapter on models of physical health. Lastly, some new topics have been added: accuracy in person perception, the unconscious, needs, goals and motivation, and social and economic behaviour"--
