Himself, a long time advocate and practitionerof creative and integrative theory supported by data (as well asmeasurement techniques designed to generate such data), Millonprovides enlightening commentary at the end of each chapter as wellas in an epilogue at the end of the book. After reviewing abreathtaking array of perspectives, he offers a simple but profoundsuggestion for how to put it together. "Intrinsic unity cannot beinvented.. by arbitrary efforts to synthesize disparate anddisjunctive theoretical schemas... The natural sythesis.. inhereswithin patients themselves." In this wisdom, he urges all of us -clinicians, theorists and researchers alike - to stay closeto the data offered ! by real persons- whole human beings seen inthe broad array of contexts marked by Millon in this amazing andwonderful book I shall ask that all of my trainees read and re-readit, whether they are still in professional schools, or returningfor continuing education. -- Lorna Smith Benjamin,Ph.D.(University of Utah)More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
