Abstract
The Harvard psychologist Gordon W. Allport (1897–1967) holds a prominent position within the academic tradition of American psychology. His writings reflect a scholar with a variety of approaches to the study of the complexity and uniqueness of human behavior. Works on personality theory such as Personality: A Psychological Interpretation, Becoming: Basic Considerations for a Psychology of Personality, and Pattern and Growth in Personality should be mentioned, as should the large number of articles Allport wrote from the 1920s to the year of his death.1
