˝John Radford and Richard Kirby range widely and speculatively in their discussion of the person. Age-old questions such as the extent to which people do differ, the effects of emotion on behaviour, the nature of mystical experience, and the possibility of deliberately changing personality are raised. It is engaging to find that the authors do not even pretend to agree. Indeed, their disagreements, bowdlerized into dialogues, enliven their text still further.Unit D is a crucial part of Essential Psychology. Many who are dissatisfied with our current models of man see the concept of man as an individual and social person as the best alternative. This is because it emphasizes the uniqueness of the experience of each individual and also the notion that he acts upon his environment in a purposeful way. The books in this unit all demonstrate how personality theory and research is changing its basic assumptions. Instead of personality being described in terms of forces driving people from within or events manipulating them from without, individuals are now being described as persons each with his own way of construing reality.˝
