Product Description

Review
"...you should certainly read what Millon has to say about the personality disorders." (Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, January 2001) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
A revision of the leading textbook on personality disorders by renowned expert Theodore Millon

"Personalities are like impressionistic paintings. At a distance, each person is ′all of a piece′; up close, each is a bewildering complexity of moods, cognitions, and motives."
–Theodore Millon

Exploring the continuum from normal personality traits to the diagnosis and treatment of severe cases of personality disorders, Personality Disorders in Modern Life, Second Edition is unique in its coverage of both important historical figures and contemporary theorists in the field. Its content spans all the major disorders–Antisocial, Avoidant, Depressive, Compulsive, Histrionic, Narcissistic, Paranoid, Schizoid, and Borderline–as well as their many subtypes. Attention to detail and in–depth discussion of the subtleties involved in these debilitating personality disorders make this book an ideal companion to the DSM–IV(TM).

Fully updated with the latest research and theory, this important text features:

  • Discussion of the distinctive clinical features and developmental roots of personality disorders
  • Balanced coverage of the major theoretical perspectives–biological, psychodynamic, interpersonal, cognitive, and evolutionary
  • Individual chapters on all DSM–IV(TM) personality disorders and their several subtypes and mixtures
  • Case studies throughout the text that bring to life the many faces of these disorders

Including a new assessment section that singles out behavioral indicators considered to have positive predictive power for the disorders, this Second Edition also includes a special focus on developmental, gender, and cultural issues specific to each disorder. A comprehensive reference suitable for today′s practitioners, Personality Disorders in Modern Life, Second Edition features a clear style that also makes it a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The most thorough book of its kind, this Second Edition is a powerful, practical resource for all trainees and professionals in key mental health fields, such as psychology, social work, and nursing.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, 7 Jan 2002
By N M BARRETT (Croydon, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
At last, I have found a book which gives a well-structured overview of the symptomatology/ clinical diagnosis and various perspectives upon the range of personality disorders and their variations. Concise, organised and balanced- initially I was loathe to spend so much money on it, but it's worth every penny. I spent ages trying to find such a comprehensive book like this, but never did, until now. The only downside is that it focuses on the DSM criteria, and fails to mention ICD.

5.0 out of 5 stars The encyclopedia of personality disorders, 8 Jun 2003
By Sam Vaknin "author of books about narcissisti... (Skopje, Macedonia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Authoritative, erudite, comprehensive and indispensable. It is by far the single best tome about personality disorders. It draws on the authors' rich clinical experience, panoramic acquaintance with schools of psychology, innovative taxonomy, and comparative ability. Though culturally-biased, it is still applicable to all societies and all times. Don't be deterred by the stiff price - it is worth every cent. Sam Vaknin, author of "Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited".
