More than half a century after its original publication, Motivation and Personality continues to offer unique and influential theories that remain relevant to modern psychology. This third edition represents a reworking of the classic text by a team of authors, preserving Maslow's original style. The purpose of the revision of the text was to give it greater clarity and structure, thus making it suitable for use in psychology courses. The third edition also includes an extensive biography of Maslow, an afterword by the editors in which they outline the practical and theoretical aspects of Maslow's belief system as reflected in our lives and society, and a complete bibliography of Maslow's works.
