REVERSAL THEORY: THE DYNAMICS OF MOTIVATION, EMOTION, AND PERSONALITY.

Description:

"Introducing a new framework for understanding the structure of mental life, reversal theory has attracted a great deal of professional attention and scholarly interest around the world since its inception in the early 1980s. In this authoritative work, Michael Apter, one of the leading figures in the development of reversal theory, provides a clear, systematic, and up-to-date introduction to the theory. Here he outlines its key features, and examines its primary applications from sport psychology and coping with anxiety to understanding violent and addictive behavior."--Jacket.
