Motivation and Personality is a book for psychology and psychiatry undergraduates. The book introduces readers to the concepts of how Human Motivation influences the behaviour of human beings. It explains how Maslow's theories of self-realization, values, choice, and responsibility, work towards influencing psychotherapy, education, medicine and management. It demonstrates through citations how various studies have determined the relations between Psychopathology and Normality and presents methodologies for a Human Science. The book is an indispensable resource for all readers interested in understanding what influences human behaviour and how to manage people accordingly. About Abraham H.
