TWO APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF PERSONALITY

Engler, 2012

There are two approaches in studying personality:

1. Academic Psychology (Precursor- Wilhelm Wundt)
2. Clinical Practice (Precursor- Sigmund Freud)

Aha! This is my kind of fairy tale book. Charot. Pampaantok. 😂 I got 2 1/2 hours of sleep earlier because I had to finish the some endless school paperworks. 😐

I strongly believe that authors have different ways of explaining TOP (like this one!). Engler's contains "Traits and Personology" (Henry Murray not found on Feist & Feist) and non-western theory (Zen Buddhism)! 😉🤓

I guess, I have to continue reading because a lot of times, I still forget some minute details. I also need to do this for the RPsy board and because review center season is fast-approaching! I will travel to different places again to lecture this! 🙂 I can't wait. Haha

FAMILIES IN THEORIES OF PERSONALITY

I want to help you with your review and your journey to studying psychology! I will not let you just copy and download everything that I have so for you to appreciate the theories of personality, I will introduce to you some theorists here from different families.

Don't be sad if you don't know some of them, I intentionally included some theorists that are new to you because we'll never know who will appear in the board examination. Okay?

Here's your homework. I want you to know these theorists! I want you to compare and contrast them. I want you to differentiate each family.

Here's the format in creating your matrix or reviewer:

Name of Theory

Name of Proponent

Basic Tenet

View of Human Behavior

Criteria of Theory

Therapeutic Technique

Good luck!

I didn't include Melanie Klein in Psychodynamic and Viktor Frankl in Existentialism, but you may include them as well.

Baby Steps to RPsy: Tips on Theories of Personality

Tip: In theories of personality, create your own matrix so that it will be easier for you to compare and contrast all theories. You may also include the Eastern theories and read at least one book authored by each theorist to deeply understand their worldviews and their theories.

Yes, I'm done with the matrix, I just need to update it again to add the Eastern part. I will also write my reflection and insights about what I just read about Freud's, "Civilization and Its Discontents." By writing this will help me retain the content of the book.

Review Center

I went earlier at Manila Tytana College to teach Theories of Personality course and to provide review examination for those students who aspire to be a psychometrician.

It went well. They very fortunate to study on that kind of institution. It is like everything is prepared, no problem with facilities, and conducive classroom.

I hope they will have the motivation to pass the board because lecturers only serve as a guide. They are still be the one who will choose their own path.

Tired.
