Henry Alexander Murray was an #American #psychologist who developed a theory of #humanpersonality based on an individual's #inborn #needs and his #relationship with the #physical and #social #environment.
In 1938 he was asked by the U.S. Government to put together a psychological profile on Adolph Hitler. During WW II, he served the U.S. Army by helping the forerunner of the CIA assess the #psychological fitness of its agents. Murray's main interest included #personology, Melville and the welfare of the world in the #atomic age.
In his Basic Concepts for a Psychology of Personality, (Journal of Psychology, 15, 1936), he described personology as “the disciplined study of human nature.”
