An Introduction to Theories of Personality by Robert B Ewen It's a textbook. For a very good overview of Freud, Jung, Adler, Horney, Sullivan, Erickson, Maslow, etc. In each section, it feels like you found a theory of personality you like best, then it gets better. Each time, they recommend further reading. For example, one good one is Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis by Karen Horney. Also, Personality Theories: Journeys Into Self by Williard and Patricia Frick is an interesting workbook. You don't have to fill it out, it's helpful read what it's asking and think on it, then also think of those questions when understanding people. Attachment Theory: Attachment in Adulthood, Second Edition: Structure, Dynamics, and Change by Mario Mikulincer and Phillip R. Shaver. For an easier read, Bad Boyfriends: Using Attachment Theory to Avoid Mr. (or Ms.) Wrong and Make You a Better Partner by Jeb Kinnison is on Audible and Kindle and despite the title is very canon to modern adult attachment theory.
