The Millon Inventories, First Edition: A Practitioner's Guide to Personalized Clinical Assessment - Hardcover

"This comprehensive work goes beyond the standard two-point-code analyses given by most texts. The material contained addresses the heart of the diagnostic and interpretive endeavor, and places it within a rich, vibrant theoretical and scientific framework. The chapter by Millon and Davis, true to the Millonian tradition, is erudite yet elegant, describing profound concepts in a manner that is accessible to both clinician and researcher. Dr. Escovar's chapter, extending Millonian theory and diagnostic practice to a cultural framework, provides a path for the growing ranks of clinicians and researchers who are treating and investigating relationships in a cross-cultural context. I look forward to assigning this book to my students, not only as a review of the Millon inventories, but also as a jumping off point for discussions regarding diagnosis and clinical practice as a whole." --Neil Bockian, PhD, Assistant Professor, Psychology and Behavioral Medicine, Illinois School of Professional Psychology; Director of Graduate Research, Institute for Advanced Studies in Personology and Psychopathology "Finally, we have a single source that brings together all the current research on the Millon Inventories. The Millon Inventories have become some of the most frequently used personality assessment instruments. These inventories are regularly revised to keep them current in the field and have stimulated considerable research exploring their clinical applications. The Millon Inventories: Clinical and Personality Assessment is written to keep the clinician up to date on the latest developments with these instruments. This text is edited by Dr. Millon, who has brought together the leading experts in the use of the Millon Inventories. Contributing authors address the validation and interpretation of all the Millon Inventories. Several chapters deal with using the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory with special populations, such as forensic, substance abuse, and PTSD. In addition, the clinician is introduced to the newer Millon Inventories, such as the Millon Index of Personality Styles, which add other valuable assessment instruments to the clinician's repertoire. I strongly endorse The Millon Inventories. This is an ideal text for a graduate course in personality assessment, as well as an invaluable resource for the practicing professional." --Jack O'Regan, Ph.D., A.B.P.P., Dean, Minnesota School of Professional Psychology "This volume presents a wealth of theory and research to put clinicians on solid footing....A lot of the theory presented here is at a level appropriate for graduate education. Yet much else will appeal to a wide range of MCMI users: general strategies for MCMI interpretation, case examples...reviews of research, comparisons of MCMI findings with those of the MMPI and Rorschach, and-perhaps most important-a major validation study relating MCMI-III findings to clinician-related diagnoses. There is also much for specialists here....this is a key reference for any clinicians who are using and researching Millon's tests." -- Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic "This volume presents a wealth of theory and research to put clinicians on solid footing....A lot of the theory presented here is at a level appropriate for graduate education.
