RESUMEN
ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present the main lines driving Theodore Millons model of
personality styles and personality disorders an integrative theoretical perspec-
tive, the authors insistence on the continuum normality-pathology and the
incorporation of the principles of the Theory of Evolution. His multi-axial pro-
posal is also analyzed, in which the interactive dynamics established between
the diverse axes are underscored with special attention to the outstanding role
of Axis II, Personality Disorders, in the genesis, determination, or at least pre-
cipitation of Axis I clinical syndromes of a more transient and cross nature.
This brief account is completed with a description of the characteristics of
the instrument the MCMI-III (Millon Clinical Multi-axial Inventory). The Spanish
adaptation by the authors is available as well as a number of relevant guide-
lines for psychological treatment.
