Personality
in Intimate Relationships: Socialization and Psychopathology Book by Luciano L'Abate
Author presents a new theory of personality within the relational context of the family
and other networks of intimate relationships. It acknowledges the roles of caretakers,
siblings, relatives, friends and partners as important aspects of development that
interface with an individual’s personality and contributes to overall development.
Functionality and dysfunctionality are viewed through this concept that makes the
connection between personality socialization and the ability to love as well as to
negotiate the problem solving tasks inherent in living.
Social
and Personality Development Book by David R. Shaffer

personality development. The Fifth edition of SOCIAL AND PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT features
clearly written, current coverage of social and personality development.

Personality
and Work: Reconsidering the Role of Personality in Organizations
Book by Murray Barrick (Editor), Ann Marie Ryan (Editor)
The subject of personality has received increasing attention from
industrial/organizational psychologists in both research and practice settings over the
past decade. But while there is an overabundance of information related to the narrow area
of personality testing and employee selection, there has been no definitive source
offering a broader perspective on the overall topic of personality in the workplace.
Personality and Work at last provides an in-depth examination of the role of personality
in work behavior. An array of expert authors discusses the connection of personality to a
wide range of outcomes beyond performance.

"...an impressive work, which can serve as a text for students of personality and
life-course development, a source of insight for clinicians, and a challenge for
researchers." - Readings

the psychology of aging. The book will be convincing to those who believe that personality
is what personality tests measure and to those who believe that personality is what
personality tests measure and to those who welcome a 'clean and mean' psychometric
theorectomy to unclutter the complexities of the personality domain.." - Contemporary
Psychology

introduction to personality assessment vivified by a multifaceted study of a single case.
There is no comparable treatment of the scientific and practical foundations of
personality assessment." - Daniel J. Ozer, PhD, University of California, Riverside
"One of the recognized giants of personality assessment has summarized the history
and state of the art of five assessment paradigms. This is an essential text for anyone
who assesses personality. It is suitable for use in graduate-level clinical psychology
courses, as well as personality courses for graduates and advanced undergrads." -
Robert R. McCrae, PhD
