Summary

Dan McAdams2 The Person, Third Edition, offers a bold and integrative vision for the field, bringing together the best from traditional personality theories and contemporary research around a focus on human lives. The Third Edition has been thoroughly revised and is now organized so that the first section provides an expanded treatment of the fundamental contexts for understanding personality: human evolution and culture. In the next three large sections of the text, the three main levels of personality are considered: Dispositional Traits, Characteristic Adaptations and Integrative Life Stories
