"A piece of intellectual, scientific, and medical history, Theodore Millon's Masters of the Mind takes you on a tour of humankind's attempts to understand itself. Millon, a major figure among today's psychological experts, considers the full scope of mental science, from its precedents in early thought, through the rise of its disciplines in the twentieth century, and on to the newest paradigms at work in the twenty-first century."--Jacket
