The Most Influental Personality Development Theory

Čovjek se razvija i uči dok je živ, a da bismo razumjeli njegov razvoj važno je poznavanje psiholoških procesa koji se u njemu zbivaju. U tome nam uvelike pomaže poznavanje teorija o razvoju ličnosti. Svaka teorija objašnjava pojedina razvojna razdoblja čovjeka, od rođenja do smrti. Poznavanje teorija ličnosti vrlo je važno u životu i radu s drugima. To je osobito važno u ustanovama za rani odgoj i obrazovanje jer poznavanje teorija pomaže nam u razumijevanju djeteta i njegova razvoja te njegovih potreba. Rad nas upoznaje s najvažnijim, odnosno najutjecajnijim teorijama razvoja ličnosti. Upoznajemo definiciju i povijest istraživanja ličnosti. Nakon definicije i povijesti slijede poglavlja o najvažnijim teorijama, od Freuda kao začetnika psihodinamske orijentacije u poimanju ličnosti, do Rogersa, važnog humanista koji je svoju teoriju u početku temeljio na svojoj kliničkoj praksi. Svi navedeni autori teorija, zapravo, na neki način vežu se uz Freuda. Oni ili podržavaju njegovu teoriju i samo ju dorađuju ili ju u potpunosti demantiraju, odnosno suprotstavljaju joj se i kao odgovor na to razvijaju svoje teorije o razvoju ličnosti. Najvažniji pojmovi teorija ličnosti su psihoanaliza, potrebe i motivi te samoaktualizacija i vlastito ja. Svi ti pojmovi protežu se kroz sve teorije. Kako smo spomenuli da je važno poznavanje teorija u radu s djecom, na kraju rada navedeno je nekoliko različitih testova ličnosti koji pomažu u analizi dječjeg ponašanja i u uočavanju mogućih problema.The man is evolving and learning all his life, and to understand his development it is important to understand the psychological processes that occur in him. In this we rely on our knowledge of the theory of personality development. Every theory explains certain development period of person, from birth to death. Knowledge of the theory of personality is very important in life and work with others. This is particularly important in institutions of early education because knowledge of the theory helps us to understand the child, his development and his needs. The work introduces us to the most important and the most influential theories of personality development. We meet the definition and history of study of personality. After the definition and history followed by chapters on the most important theories of Freud as the pioneer of psychodynamic orientation in understanding personality, to Rogers, an important humanist whos theory initially was based on his clinical practice. All these authors of theorys, in fact, in some way are related to Freud. They either support his theory, and just elaborate her or they completely deny or oppose her, and in response to this developing there own theorys of personality development. The most important concepts of the theory of personality are psychoanalysis, needs, motivations, self-actualization and myself. All these concepts are spread throughout all theories. As we have mentioned that it is important to know the theory in working with children, at the end of this work,there are listed several different personality tests that helps in the analysis of children's behavior and in the identification of potential problems
