Prepublication praise:'This book represents a substantial advance. The author develops a complex theoretical edifice that combines in a judicial way the biological, psychological, and situational approaches to personality. I am certain that Fajkowska's new theory will exert much influence in the years ahead.' (Michael W. Eysenck, Roehampton University, Whitelands College) 'A masterpiece. This book includes many new ideas, presents new material, and constitutes the platform for a new approach to personality. Fajkowska has attempted a tour de force and has written a book that will be difficult- if not impossible-for anyone interested in personality to overlook.' (Shulamith Kreitler, Tel Aviv University) 'In this book Malgorzata Fajkowska presents her Complex-System Approach to Personality, a pioneering attempt to integrate personality research that proposes a model in which temperament traits and attentional processes are functionally related. An original and unique contribution to the literature on personality.' (Jan Strelau, University of Social Sciences and Humanities)
