PSYC12013  Personality

This course, which provides a survey of "modern" personality theory, begins with a study of Freudian psychoanalysis and its derivatives, including Jungian analytic psychology, Adlerian individual psychology, and selected post-war and contemporary neo-Freudian theories. Humanistic and existential alternatives to psychoanalysis are also considered. Finally, contemporary factor-based trait and dimensional personality theories, social learning theory, and personal construct theory complete the survey. It is a requirement of enrolment that students have access to the CQU website via the Internet.
