Millon and Bloom (Institute for Advanced Studies in Personology and Psychopathology) compile 28 chapters by psychologists who describe the assessment tools developed by Millon and his associates to be used in the evaluation of personality disorders and other mental health problems. Practitioners in different settings can use the inventories to personalize treatment for each patient, which is emphasized in this edition. The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory and its foundations, interpretation, and applications in settings from general psychotherapy to forensic and correctional environments are described, as well as other instruments. How the inventory can be integrated with other tests is explained. Revised and expanded, this edition also contains new chapters on the Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic, the Pre-Adolescent Clinical Inventory, the Millon-Grossman Personality Domain Checklist, and the College Counseling Inventory. Contributors are psychologists from the US and Europe. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
