6. Character Counts Bibliography — 251 Authors in 295 Books

We tried to distinguish just a few psychology texts, for in the main, psychology and psychiatry are all related to character too. One difference is that by general accolade character is about the sum of good virtues and psychology strengths—and their development—whereas psychology is about development and control and the theories behind human drives.

We give you below a selection of ten in order of relevance to character alone, but all top-of-the-line contributions, unique, and representative of character’s diversity: 1-Peterson-Seligman on avant–garde character studies itself, 2-Josephson on practice, 3-Kouzes-Posner on leadership genre, 4-Frankl on psychology, 5- Eisenberg on human empathy avant–garde, 6-Toch on character survival in the most hostile environs, 7-Viorst on character in loss, 8-Kent in a biography of Elizabeth Fry and her titanic efforts to change the character of perception of the elite toward an entire institution (prison), 9-Bennett on the story-parable, and 10-Chesterson in fiction character description.

 

1. Peterson, Christopher, and Martin E. P. Seligman. Character Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification. Oxford: Oxford Univ. Press, 2004; 816p. This massive and significant contribution shall become a classic in positive-preventative psychology, gathering together most of the secular psychological studies having a bearing upon the meaning and development of character. Moreover, for Christian theologians (and those of other religions), herein psychology has proven the value of values and of noble behavior as good for the soul and society. The bibliography has more technical journals relating to character than another work to date (that I am aware of). They left no psychological nook or cranny out.
