About this Unit
This unit has been replaced by 101351 - Health and Personality. 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, this unit provides an overview of personality theories, with a specific focus on such contemporary issues as repressed/false memories, stress, normalisation and social control.
