Discover the Human Mind: Kurt Lewin’s Personality Theory & Beyond
Explore a foundational text that reshaped personality psychology, brought to you by the esteemed Soviet psychologist B. V. Zeigarnik. This volume opens with her deep dive into the work of her mentor, Kurt Lewin—the only Gestalt psychologist to fully embrace the study of personality. Lewin, using a Galilean approach, argued that every life event must be understood within the context of the entire present situation. He revolutionized the field by shifting focus to human needs, motives, goals, desires, and the affective and volitional spheres, moving away from a “faceless” psychology.
The book also includes a series of lectures Zeigarnik delivered at Moscow State University. In these, she critically analyzes major personality theories: from Freud, Jung, and the neo-Freudians (including K. Horney, G. Sullivan, and E. Fromm) to the humanists (C. Rogers, G. Allport, A. Maslow) and existentialist and “understanding psychology” thinkers.
