This update of the 1994 edition adds "integrated" to the title. McAdams (Northwestern U.) blends the classic theories of personality development with contemporary research on the question of: "what do we know when we know a person?" Part I provides the evolutionary and social context for addressing this issue. Individual differences and specific traits and adaptations are the focus of the next sets of chapters. The final section examines how individuality is unified and reflected in life stories. Points suitable for classroom discussion are highlighted with examples from literature, biography, and the media. Includes a glossary. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
