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

Narcissistic, Paranoid, Schizoid, and Borderline-as well as their
many subtypes. Attention to detail and in-depth discussion of the

developmental roots of personality disorders

perspectives-biological, psychodynamic, interpersonal, cognitive,
and evolutionary

developmental, gender, and cultural issues specific to each
disorder. A comprehensive reference suitable for today’s
practitioners, Personality Disorders in Modern Life, Second Edition
