Summary
Personality psychology studies how psychological systems work together and, consequently, can act as a resource for unification in the broader discipline of psychology. Yet personality’s current field-wide organisation promotes a fragmented view of the person, seen through such competing theories such as the psychodynamic, trait, and humanistic. There exists an alternative, systems framework for personality, that focuses on four topics: Identifying personality, personality’s parts, its organization, and its development. (Mayer, 2005: 1)
