Psychological Classification of Personalities. Elementary Methodology of Psychological Research

The book by the famous Soviet psychologist and psychotherapist A.E. Petrova "Psychological Classification of Personalities" was published in 1926, but it still attracts the interest of those who professionally study the psyche of criminals, asocial personalities, and the mentally ill. Based on practical observation of real people, the author builds a system that allows for classifying personalities across a wide range of parameters, which makes it possible to explain and predict at first glance difficult-to-explain nuances of their behavior. This publication can be useful for psychologists and psychiatrists, as well as for lawyers, criminologists, and investigators.
