Review # 2 was written on 2018-12-13 00:00:00 Guy Gill READ FOR PSYC 333 It was a surprise to find that we skipped over the Freud chapters entirely. But like my teacher said, he's such a staple that we've probably learned enough about him by now. I was already familiar with Erikson, Adler, and Rogers, but the rest of them I was only vaguely familiar with, if at all. There were a few near the end of the book that I didn't follow at all; Melanie Klein's chapter is probably one of the worst. I don't know if it was just my lack of familiarity with their theories, but it felt like there was a tone or outright author change midway through the text. The overarching format of the chapters remained the same, but the word choice and sentence structure seemed completely different. Several sentences were repeatedly used throughout at least one chapter, to the point that it felt like I was being told re-iterated information rather than new content; one concept would get partially explained in three different sections, and it was the same part of the concept being explained. It made things really hard to absorb while reading.
