Narrative for the Integrative Personality Theory Paper

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review sections 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 of Chapter 1 in the text. In addition, read the e-book sections by Glanz (n.d.) and Saucier and Srivastava (2015).

The major assignment for this course is the development of your personal Integrative Personality Theory.  In this paper, you will select one concept from each of the seven models covered in this course to include in your theory.  Note that this is not meant to be an overview of each model, and the paper cannot focus on just one model.  Rather, you are to select a specific concept from a theory in each model, and you must include one concept from each of the seven models in your final paper.  Click here for examples of some of the main concepts from the Psychodynamic Model
