Synopsis

The "Second Edition" of the best selling "Interpretive Guide to the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory" is rich in new and up-to-date material for the many mental health professionals who use this instrument. Like the popular first edition, the book provides a critical assessment of both the strengths and the weaknesses of the MCMI, examining its design, development and operating characteristics. It discusses the basics of personality-style theory, the process of standardization, the clinical scales themselves and their statistical properties, and the possible effects of extraneous variables on their validity. In this "Second Edition", authors Choca and Van Denburg offer fresh analyses that take the newest version of the instrument, the MCMI-III, into account. They have given thorough consideration to the latest empirical research and offer their readers discussion of the multitude of empirical studies that have occurred since 1992. The second edition provides more analytic comparisons with other personality instruments and includes significant enhancements in statistical discussions throughout. Finally, this edition of the "Interpretive Guide to the MCMI" maintains the useful approach of its predecessor, featuring less pathological narratives for the personality prototypes, thus lending guidance to the many clinicians testing individuals who do not specifically have a personality disorder (and for whom the narratives of the National Computer System may be inappropriately harsh). A series of case reports highlight practical diagnostic applications and therapeutic benefits.
