Reviews

""This book represents a substantial advance. The author develops a complex theoretical edifice that combines in a judicial way the biological, psychological, and situational approaches to personality. I am certain that Fajkowska's new theory will exert much influence in the years ahead."" -- Michael W. Eysenck, Roehampton University, Whitelands College ""A masterpiece. This book includes many new ideas, presents new material, and constitutes the platform for a new approach to personality. Fajkowska has attempted a tour de force and has written a book that will be difficult if not impossible-for anyone interested in personality to overlook."" -- Shulamith Kreitler, Tel Aviv University ""In this book Malgorzata Fajkowska presents her Complex-System Approach to Personality, a pioneering attempt to integrate personality research that proposes a model in which temperament traits and attentional processes are functionally related. An original and unique contribution to the literature on personality."" -- Jan Strelau, University of Social Sciences and Humanities
