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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1990 (0-471-51573-6) 208 pp.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e DISORDERS OF PERSONALITY\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e DSM-IV and Beyond\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Second Edition\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Theodore Millon and Roger D.

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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1995 (0-471-01186-X) 768 pp.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e THEODORE MILLON is Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard University and Professor of Psychology at the University of Miami.
