Question

"The question of how personality works is one often attributed to psychology by

philosophers (Marinoff, 2000; Murphy & Kovach, 1972, pp. 13, 214). Questions

of what causes the various characters have been raised since Antiquity (Robinson,

1976, p. 48). The psychiatric diagnosis of "Hysteria" for example, dates from

Ancient Egypt when it was attributed to a wandering womb (Veith, 1970).

Certainly, this isn't the real cause, but it represented a search for causes. Such

exploration is reflected in Question the question: How does personality work?
