Articles by the giants Freud, Jung, Maslow, Skinner and others are organized in eight sections covering research methods; the trait approach to personality; biological approaches; the psychoanalytic approach; humanistic approaches; cross-cultural approaches; behavioral and social learning approaches; and the cognitive approach. Articles (covering method, theory, and research) were selected to be representative rather than exhaustive and to be of interest to an audience of non-psychologists.
