Humans as Self-Constructing Living Systems (eBook, ePUB)

A Developmental Perspective on Behavior and Personality

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1987, the purpose of this title was to develop a conceptual framework for understanding individual humans as complex, functional entities. It was felt that a sound developmental theory of human personality and behaviour would help synthesize existing scientific and clinical information into a coherent representation of a person as a functional unit, guide future research, and facilitate the work of the health and human services professions. The volume is aimed at a multidisciplinary-multiprofessional audience.
