Summary

Beneath the Maskpresents classical theories of human nature while emphasizing the theorist's progression of ideas.

This account of personality theory incorporates the personal origins of ideas to highlight the links between the psychology of each theorist and that theorist's own psychology of persons. It also explores how the personal histories, conflicts, and intentions of the theorist entered that thinker's portrait of people.
