Synopsis

This book was designed to help instructors communicate meaningfully with their students about personality. The text is not arranged chronologically, nor is it structured according to historical lineage. Rather, the theories are presented according to the kind of approach that the theorists have taken in order to conceptualize personality. Thus, Profiles of Personality allows students to experience the study of personality as a way of thinking about the dynamic processes of living and lifelong becoming.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Eugene M. DeRobertis holds a B.A. in philosophy from St. Peter’s College and a Ph.D. in psychology from Duquesne University. He has been a college professor since 1996. Prior to committing himself to teaching full-time, Dr. DeRobertis worked as a developmentally oriented psychotherapist and addictions counselor. His most recent academic authorship focuses on applying existential-phenomenological humanism to the study of child development. Dr. DeRobertis was born in Hoboken, New Jersey on September 2, 1970. He spent his formative years learning working class values in suburban New Jersey. As a youngster, Dr. DeRobertis played intramural sports, learned to play the guitar, and took an interest in automobiles. Upon completing high school he intended to follow in his father’s footsteps by working on the railroad. However, at the urging of his mother, Dr. DeRobertis enrolled at St. Peter’s College as a marketing management major. Dissatisfied with the prospect of a career in business, he decided to pursue his passion for philosophy. In 1992, Dr. DeRobertis graduated St. Peter’s College and received the school’s Rankin Medal for achieving the highest grade point average in philosophy of any student in his graduating class. While studying at St. Peter’s, Dr. DeRobertis developed a strong interest in existential- phenomenology. As a result, he applied to Duquesne University and began studying existential-phenomenological psychology there in September of 1992. While completing his doctorate, Dr. DeRobertis worked as a psychotherapist and an adjunct psychology professor. In addition, he completed his first text, an introduction to phenomenological psychology, in 1996. Since receiving his Ph.D., Dr. DeRobertis has written on a host of topics, including the impact of contemporary information technology on interpersonal relations, childhood psychological maltreatment, theoretical and philosophical psychology, phenomenology, and existential-humanistic child developmental theory. He currently works for Brookdale College and Rutgers University.
