The response from my department has been: a rose by any other name.... I argue that it's not the same and would like more input from the list for this topic that omitting systems is a significant departure. I have some ideas but they are probably not sufficiently strong to sway the "rose by any other name" folks.
Finally another colleague asked me to ask the list about theories of personality. It is currently taught, pretty much, as the history of the theories of personality with an extremely strong emphasis on psychodynamic and humanistic approaches. Are there no 21st century theories?

That was a phrase popularized in the 1950s (though it may date back to the 1930s) that "marks" a course as one that hasn't been rethought in a very long time. Plain "history of psychology" (or sometimes "history & theory," which was a 1980s phenomenon) signals a more contemporary approach. Chris ----- Christopher D.
