About this Unit
Personality theory is integrally linked to notions of health and illness. Not only can personality theory be applied in health settings, but also many of our ideas about personality are actually derived from working with people with various forms of illness. Through an exploration of some psychological approaches to the mind-body connection, the subject provides an overview of personality theories, with a specific focus on some contemporary issues.
