Informationen zum Autor Religion in Personality Theory makes clear the link between theory and research and personality and religion. Presently! most personality texts have a limited discussion of religion and reference few theorists other than Freud and Maslow in relation to the subject. This book reviews the theory and the empirical literature on the writings of 14 theorists. Every chapter concludes with a summation of the current research on the theorist's proposals.
