ABSTRACT
Theodore Millon (1990, 1999; Millon & Davis, 2000) is one of the most well-known and highly respected researchers and theorists in the field of personality and personality disorders. His model for understanding the human condition was elegantly described in the 1990 book, Toward a New Personology (Millon, 1990). Since its publication, several books have been written to apply the model to various clinical conditions and various clinical approaches. One of the great contributions of the model is the ease with which the model has been integrated with different approaches in such a way that the personology model is validated and other approaches expanded. For instance, this model has been integrated with a Cognitive-Behavioral model (Rasmussen, 2005), a Behavioral model (Farmer & Nelson-Grey, 2005), a Crisis model (Everly & Lating, 2003), a Forensic Psychology model (Craig, 2004), and a Health Psychology model (Harper, 2003). The model has also been informally integrated with the Adlerian model (Rasmussen & Dover, 2007), which is expanded upon in the next chapter. To be sure, it is the Adlerian model that, arguably, merges most readily with the descriptions presented by Millon and his colleagues, primarily because of the teleological and holistic aspects that the two models share.
