For this assignment, write an essay comparing and contrasting the psychoanalytic perspective and the trait perspective. Discuss possible points of their agreement and disagreement. That is, tell how the theories might fit together, as well as how they are incompatible. Feel free to include any relevant research or Web resources to illustrate your points. You may use the Web resources listed in your lessons, or you may use material from any outside source. (Make sure that you cite any Web resources you use.) Try to come up with a coherent theory of personality based on these two approaches.
At least 500 words and the content of the essay: thesis, discussion (body), and conclusion (summary).
