The 10th revised and expanded edition (second Greek) of "Personality Theories: Research and Applications" by Cervone and Pervin, published almost 40 years after the original, maintains the thematic structure, characteristics, and general objectives of the previous editions, while simultaneously enriched with contemporary research data.

This edition additionally includes two new chapters: one examines the biological bases of personality, that is, the extent to which observed individual differences in personality traits are due to genetic differences. The other chapter examines the cultural, social, and interpersonal bases of personality. In line with the book's long tradition, each theoretical approach in the new edition is treated objectively and equally, encouraging readers to evaluate the evidence presented for each theory and draw their own conclusions.

As befits a handbook, the authors succeed in giving us a comprehensive presentation of the theory, research, evaluation, and applications of the most important personality theories in a clear and concise manner.
