PSY 3590

Psychology of Personality (TN eCampus)

This course is designed to provide students with a critical overview of personality theory, research, assessment, disorders, and therapy. The course will take a scientific approach to the study of personality. This means that we will devote a good deal of attention to current theoretical and research approaches. Classic theories of personality will also be covered. This is primarily a course on the varieties of normal personality functioning rather than aspects of abnormal psychology. Students will have several opportunities to complete examples of personality measures during the course.
