ReviewsThis substantial volume updates research findings and clinical applications of the Millon inventories....A major strength of the inventories is that resulting profiles are individualized and personalized for each patient. Detailed case studies are described throughout....Clinicians and personality theorists interested in the definition and treatment of complex personality disorders will find this volume an important resource., "This is an excellent book....The book contains many applications of the Millon inventories, including the most famous one, the MCMI. The authors emphasize personalizing the test findings, which is one of the greatest tasks for the psychometrician. This edition updates the material and includes new chapters, justifying the replacement of the first edition. Readers will not be disappointed....4 stars!"--Doody's Review Service, "This second edition presents the current thinking of leading experts on the Millon inventories into a 'mega-handbook' for the busy practitioner. In one volume, it provides both an introduction to the inventories and a comprehensive summary of the latest research and practice. Anyone who uses the Millon inventories, from the novice to the experienced practitioner, will want to keep this book close at hand."--Jack O'Regan, PhD, ABPP, Dean, College of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences, Argosy University "More than a presentation of the Millon inventories, this book develops an overarching model of case conceptualization. The model extends from the small details of client presentation to an integrated guide on how best to develop treatment interventions. It is a welcome addition to the field that will be an informative guide for everyone from graduate students seeking to increase their depth of test-related knowledge to seasoned professionals who want to provide more integrated case conceptualizations."--Gary Groth-Marnat, PhD, ABPP, Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology, Pacifica Graduate Institute "In this era of reductionist approaches to mental illness, how refreshing it is to find a research-based and comprehensive volume still committed to the treatment of the whole person. Its rich assembly of chapters demonstrates how Millon's wide battery of inventories can achieve a personalized evaluation that responds to the unique characteristics and concerns of each client in a variety of clinical and applied settings. This book should prove an invaluable resource to clinicians and to instructors who seek to train students in a holistic and personality-based approach to assessment and psychotherapy."--Jefferson A. Singer, PhD, Department of Psychology, Connecticut College, This novel idea is a book, a present and a surprise all rolled in to one - literally! Instead of turning pages, the box unravels in a countdown to Christmas. Toddlers are fascinated with the pop-up pictures such as the 'Eight exciting toys' and the 'Four frost snowmen'. Each number from ten down to two has a corresponding pop-up and the excitement for children as they pull open the final box for the surprise makes this a Christmas book that all toddlers will put on their list to Santa., "In this era of reductionist approaches to mental illness, how refreshing it is to find a research-based and comprehensive volume still committed to the treatment of the whole person.
