The Seventh Edition of Personality Theories continues its sound tradition of providing accurate and thorough coverage via an easily accessible text enhanced by pedagogical features and a focus on critical thinking. Personality Theories is designed both to explain the major personality theories and to stimulate critical thinking about them. Each chapter focuses on one theory or group of theories and provides brief biographies that shed light on how the theories were formed. Engler also provides criteria for evaluating each theory and cites current research pertaining to that theory, in addition to integrating multicultural and gender-related issues throughout the text.

Thinking Critically boxes throughout the text present interesting activities that encourage students to analyze or apply key issues related to the theories discussed.
To Learn More prompts in the text direct students to the web site where they will find modules on topics such as the status of psychoanalysis today, recent existential theories, and the use of medication to treat depression.
Up-to-date coverage includes Levinson's research in Chapter 6; a section on ethnic identity, encompassing work done by Cross, Parham and Helms, and Phinney; coverage of Kernberg and social issues in Chapter 7, including confidentiality, privacy, and his exploration of mature religiosity; and a section on Five Factor Theory in Chapter 11.
Additional features include Philosophical Assumption boxes, Philosophy, Science, and Art sections at the end of each chapter,and a unique final chapter on Zen Buddhism.
