Now in a substantially revised and expanded second edition, this
important work thoroughly details the full range of clinical
assessment tools developed by Theodore Millon and his associates.
Presented is the most current, authoritative overview of the Millon
Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI), as well as comprehensive
information on widely used instruments for such specific
populations as adolescents, preadolescents, medical patients, and
college students. With a heightened focus on clinical practice, the
second edition offers explicit guidance for linking assessment to
individualized, evidence-based treatment planning and intervention.
Many of the chapters are entirely new, reflecting significant
research advances and the development of new inventories.
This forward-thinking volume grapples with critical questions
surrounding the mechanisms underlying mental disorders and the
systems used for classifying them. Edited and written by leading
international authorities, many of whom are actively involved with
the development of DSM-V and ICD-11, the book integrates biological
and psychosocial perspectives. It provides balanced analyses of
such hot-button issues as the role of social context and culture in
psychopathology and the pros and cons of categorical versus
dimensional approaches to diagnosis. Cutting-edge diagnostic
instruments and research methods are reviewed. Throughout,
contributors highlight the implications of current theoretical and
empirical advances for understanding real-world clinical problems
and developing more effective treatments.
Psychopathy remains one of the least understood personality
disorders and one of the most intransigent to therapeutic
amelioration. Better understanding of this disorder is not helped
by its DSM definition, which specifies diagnostic criteria in terms
of concrete antisocial behaviors rather than psychological
dynamics. In a concerted effort to remedy this situation, this
volume brings together a distinguished array of contributors to
provide a comprehensive review of research on psychopathy--its
nature, causes, and effects on the individual and society, as well
as current management approaches.
