( Times Higher Education, November 2010) "Though revised often and deeply over the past 40 years, say Cervone (U. of Illinois-Chicago) and Pervin (emeritus, Rutgers U.), the psychology textbook still presents the major theoretical perspectives on personality, integrates theory with research and case material, and provides the basis for comparing the theories."
