“…For example, Piersma and his colleagues used the polarity scales that Millon created for the Millon Index of Personality Styles (MIPS; Millon et al, 1994) and correlated those values with the results of the MCMI-III administered to the same individuals. They found that approximately 60% of the time the MCMI-III did not correlate with the polarity scales of the MIPS, and that 11% of the time the correlation was actually in the opposite direction of what Millon would have predicted (Piersma et al, 2002). However, if you, my reader, have more appreciation for complexity than I do, there are excellent renditions of Millon's theory that should be pleasing to you (e.g., Grossman, 2020;Millon, 2011;Millon et al, 2015).…”

W hile I was working at a hospital, we took turns carrying the emergency room pager. My turn was Wednesday afternoons. One such Wednesday, I headed down to the first-floor emergency room from my office on the 15th floor after the pager went off. I was shown into a small medical examining room where a man and a woman were seated. The 26-year-old man needed a shave. He wore a loud Hawaiian shirt, black pants, and loafers. The woman was more conservatively dressed in a white blouse and green skirt. The man responded to my question of how I could help by telling me that there was nothing wrong with him, but that his girlfriend insisted on his being "checked." He was hoping I would convince his girlfriend that he was OK so they could both go home. Laughing, he volunteered that he had no idea why his girlfriend thought he needed to be "checked." I did not respond and waited in silence until the girlfriend spoke.The girlfriend explained that her boyfriend wanted to quit his job because he believed he knew more about the warehouse vehicle tires business than anyone else in the world. "The other workers in the office are morons," he interjected. According to the girlfriend, the man I will call "Don" had no savings and needed to keep working in order to eat and pay his part of their rent. He interrupted her to say that he planned to sell his car. The girlfriend continued by noting that Don wanted to start his own company but did not have any of the resources needed.

“…Given that the DSM has not yet provided an optimal solution for the evaluation of personality disorders, scientists have pursued other directions. Research has led to alternative frameworks that relate other psychological constructs to both general and individual personality disorders, such as the five-factor model (Lynam and Widiger, 2001;Widiger et al, 2002;Samuel and Widiger, 2004;Bagby et al, 2005), defense mechanisms (Berman and McCann, 1995;Cramer, 1999;Bowins, 2010), and Millon's biosocial model (Piersma et al, 2002;Mullins-Sweatt and Widiger, 2007;Millon, 2011).…”

Personality disorders are psychological ailments with a major negative impact on patients, their families, and society in general, especially those of the dramatic and emotional type. Despite all the research, there is still no consensus on the best way to assess and treat them. Traditional assessment of personality disorders has focused on a limited number of psychological constructs or behaviors using structured interviews and questionnaires, without an integrated and holistic approach. We present a novel methodology for the study and assessment of personality disorders consisting in the development of a Bayesian network, whose parameters have been obtained by the Delphi method of consensus from a group of experts in the diagnosis and treatment of personality disorders. The result is a probabilistic graphical model that represents the psychological variables related to the personality disorders along with their relations and conditional probabilities, which allow identifying the symptoms with the highest diagnostic potential. This model can be used, among other applications, as a decision support system for the assessment and treatment of personality disorders of the dramatic or emotional cluster. In this paper, we discuss the need to validate this model in the clinical population along with its strengths and limitations.

Contributions to the Dimensional Assessment of Personality Disorders Using Millon's Model and the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI–III)

For over 35 years, Mllion's (1996) model of personality and the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (Millon, 1977, 1987, 2006) have been useful resources for clinicians to understand and assess personality disorders (PDs) and clinical syndromes in psychiatric patients. In this article, we highlight significant features of the model and test that have proved valuable to personologists in their quest for a more satisfactory taxonomy of PDs based on continuously distributed traits. We also describe Millon's (1996)prototypal domain approach to personality that combines dimensional and categorical elements for the description of PDs and their normal counterparts.
