The Person in psychology

by Gordon W. Allport

These essays do not pretend to cover all aspects of the concept of Person as it crops up in all varieties of psychology. At the same time each of the essays bears upon the place of the Person in the diversified science of psychology. Some deal with purely social aspects of personal behavior - rumor, morale, communication, others wi"th expression - handwriting, expressive movement, often with structural dynamic components - traits, the religious sentiment, prejudice, motivation, values, and occasionally with practical problems of guidance, mental health, control of prejudice, and pedagogy" -- from amazon.com.
