Theodore Millon

Theodore Millon

Theodore Millon, Ph.D., D. Sc., (born 1928) is an American psychologist, the only child of immigrant Jewish parents from Lithuania and Poland. Receiving degrees from both American and European universities, he headed a large Pennsylvania mental hospital for some 15 years, shortly thereafter becoming the founding editor of the "Journal of Personality Disorders" and the inaugural president of the International Society for the Study of Personality Disorders and a full professor at Harvard Medical School and the University of Miami. A leading researcher and theorist, he has been referred to in international circles as the grandfather of personology and personality disorders.

His award-winning evolutionary theory of personality structure and development has guided the development of seven relatively brief Millon Inventories, among them the MCMI-III, MBMD, MACI, MIPS and most recently, the M-PACI and MCCI, each focused on a different clinical population, e.g., adults, adolescents, medical patients. Furthermore, the Parents' Preference Test (PPT) is based on his personality model, adapted to the interpersonal perspective. As a key member of the DSM-III and IV, his theory is closely correlated with the official classification system, increasing the utility of his associated diagnostic instruments.

A prolific author, he has written or edited more than thirty books, including "Disorders of Personality", and "The Millon Inventories: A Practitioner’s Guide to Personalized Clinical Assessment", published in 2008.

Winner of numerous lifetime awards, Professor Millon was also the 2003 recipient of the American Psychological Association's Distinguished Contributor to Applied Research award. The APA and American Psychological Foundation have established the Theodore Millon Award for mid-career scholars in personality psychology. His former students and colleagues published a "Festschrift" honoring his lifetime achievements in Stephen Strack's 2005 "Handbook of Personology and Psychopathology" (Wiley). Professor Millon now serves as Dean and Scientific Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Personology and Psychopathology [ [http://www.millon.net/content/people_summary.htm IASPP - International Center and Dean's Office Staff] , Retrieved on 2008-03-30] .
