Of related interest...TOWARD A NEW PERSONOLOGY An Evolutionary
Model Theodore Millon Drawing on principles inherent in the
physical and biological sciences, Theodore Millon explicates his
groundbreaking theory of personality, its foundations, and its
applications to the study of psychopathology. This innovative
conceptual structure describes personality in terms of its basic
survival and adaptive functions--especially in the polarities of
pleasure/pain, passivity/activity, and self/other. This is an
essential work for psychologists, psychiatrists, and personality
researchers. 1990 (0-471-51573-6) 208 pp. DISORDERS OF PERSONALITY
DSM-IV and Beyond Second Edition Theodore Millon and Roger D.Davis
Written by one of the world's leading authorities on personality
disorders and an influential member of the DSM-IV Axis II Work
Group, this book will serve as an indispensable companion to DSM-IV
and the definitive guide to all the advances in the field since the
publication of the first edition. Major revisions include an
expansion of basic personality prototypes, an enlarged review of
contemporary thinking on personality disorders, detailed material
on frequent Comorbid Axis I and Axis II diagnoses, and more
material on personality assessment and therapy, including an
up-to-date review of available instruments. 1995 (0-471-01186-X)
768 pp. One has to turn to the writings of Sigmund Freud and Carl
Jung to find so systematic, profound, and seminal a body of work as
that of Theodore Millon. A theorist of the first rank, he has
authored numerous books of compelling clinical utility and insight.
In Personality and Psychopathology, Millon provides the reader with
a coordinated series of papers that illustrate his unprecedented
model for building a unified science of personology and
psychopathology.In this effort, he seeks to integrate previously
disparate components into a clinical science. Rather than
developing independently and being left to stand as largely
unconnected functions, Millon argues that a truly mature clinical
science will embody explicit: 1) theories, that is, explanatory and
heuristic conceptual schemes that enable the development of a
formal 2) nosology, a taxonomic classification of disorders that is
devised logically from the theory and which permits the development
of coordinated 3) instruments, tools that are empirically grounded
and sufficiently sensitive quantitatively to enable the theory's
hypothesis to be adequately investigated, and from which target
areas can be specified for 4) interventions, strategies and tactics
of therapy designed in accord with the theory. A series of
groundbreaking papers comprise this creative work. Some connect
personology to other scientific realms of nature, and others
establish a series of thought-provoking "diagnostic criteria" for
the concept of normality. The precision and logic for classifying
psychopathologies comprise another classic article.A lively and
insightful analysis of the borderline personality, explicated from
a social learning perspective, serves as a refreshing counterpoint
to the standard analytical model. No less bold are Millon's "Ten
Commandments" for personologic psychotherapy, a richly articulated
integration of contemporary treatment modalities. Wise and witty,
this future classic will furnish the field with both clinical and
scientific mandates that are sure to have a powerful impact on
psychological diagnosis and therapy for years to come.
