Portraits of Self-Esteem: Sixteen Paths to Competency and Self-Worth

Through an exploration of the 16 psychological types, author Bonnie Golden offers a unique and useful guide to enhancing self-esteem. Her work is based on surveys from more than 300 community college students, who comprise the composite profiles of how self-esteem is expressed by each of the 16 types. This is a guidebook for teachers and counselors as well as a valuable resource for students who can learn to recognize obstacles to self-esteem and then build programs and methods for overcoming them. The focused narrative includes how each type interacts with family, friends, and co-workers; approaches the learning process; and relates to the physical and emotional self.
