Anthony Storr's account of the development of the personality has become a classic. It argues that there is nothing wrong with being oneself, indeed individuality demonstrates the ability to form relationships with others. By tracing the stages that lead from childhood through adolescence to maturity, Dr Storr imparts much information about human development as well as providing many insights into the causes of neuroses and other psychological problems. This book is aimed at students of psychology, readers interested in psychology, psychotherapy and theories of personality and those in medical and "caring" professions.

Anthony Storr was an English psychiatrist and author. He was a child who was to endure the typical trauma of early 20th century UK boarding schools. He was educated at Winchester, Christ's College, the University of Cambridge and Westminster Hospital. He qualified as a doctor in 1944, and subsequently specialized in psychiatry. Storr grew up to be kind and insightful, yet, as his obituary states, he was "no stranger to suffering" and was himself allegedly prone to the frequent bouts of depression his mother had. Today, Anthony Storr is known for his psychoanalytical portraits of historical figures.
