Psychology 220 - Theories of Personality

How do theorists' ideas about personality relate to their own life experiences? Does the gender of a theorist affect the claims they make about women's and men's personalities? Autobiographical writings of key theorists (Freud, Jung, Horney, Deutsch) are read in conjunction with their classic works, with an eye toward exploring how people are similar to, and different from, one another and how childhood experiences shape adult behavior.
