KURT LEWIN (1890-1947) space EWIN'S theory presents personality as a dynamic system
operating within a field. Lewin draws a map of the individual's life and graphically portrays
the forces that operate within that space. Allport (1947) considered him one of the most
original psychologists of the century. It is a paradox that although Lewin formulated his
theory to interpret primarily individual behavior, he has been most influential in the area of
group dynamics.
