Abstract
Dunlop provides an integrative framework for the study of personality as it is lived by the individual and covers much ground in pulling together McAdams' thinking about essential distinctive levels of personality and research from the contextualized personality literature. While we welcome Dunlop's reminder about the importance of recognizing the dynamic relatedness of distinguishable levels of personality, we question whether the presented operationalizations of contextualized personality are optimal. Our comment departs from a clinical angle, and we illustrate these thoughts using examples from Therapeutic Assessment.
