Disorders of Personality: DSM-III: Axis II

by Theodore Millon

Brings together clinical literature on personality disorders in a single source book. Coordinates and evaluates current theory on the subject in close conjunction with the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) to which the author made substantial contribution in the section on personality disorders. Presents contrasting views of the dynamics and development of each syndrome, with special attention to the newer personality syndromes such as avoidant, narcissistic, borderline, and schizotypal, as well as more common ``mixed'' personality types.

thus far i've learned that we're all far more disordered than i would've hoped ... the curse, i suppose, of too much information combined with too much observation and extrapolation.
