From the Back Cover
An unparalleled resource for state–of–the–art MCMI–III interpretation
The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, Third Edition (MCMI–III) has become a mainstay of clinical assessment. Frequently administered in many settings, including clinical, counseling, medical, and forensic services, the MCMI–III is one of the most widely used measures of adult psychopathology. The latest edition of this instrument reflects new discoveries and concepts in personality assessment, as well as refinements to Millon′s bioevolutionary model of personality, on which the MCMI–III is based.
New Directions in Interpreting the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory–III presents the latest methods of interpretation along with clinical applications for the newest edition of this classic personality assessment instrument. Edited by a leading MCMI researcher, this important new reference features contributions from internationally renowned scholars of personality assessment.
This complete and up–to–date guide describes the use of the MCMI–III in nontraditional settings (e.g., correctional facilities, substance abuse treatment centers), in treatment planning, and in conjunction with other personality measures. Chapters discuss timely topics including the effect of culture on MCMI–III results, as well as controversies regarding its forensic applications. In addition, the text presents research related to the MCMI–III′s diagnostic power with regard to psychopathology and malingering.
New Directions in Interpreting the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory–III also features:
- Presentation of the new Personality Disorder Subscales
- A comprehensive bibliography of all published literature related to MCMI and its revisions

Not an instructive book.
25 Jun 2009
Format:Hardcover
I'm sure this book is very fascinating for people who are interested in research and analytical comparisons between prior methods and current methods. However, I was hoping that the book would be more instructive, providing information about how to use the code types, interpretation techniques, and such. The book is quite expensive, so unless you are interested in a compare/contrast lit review about the MCMI-III, I would not recommend this book.
Not for the beginner.
17 May 2012
Format:Hardcover
This book is not an interpretive 'cookbook' for the beginner. It has a series of sophisticated pieces addressing research and the resulting implications for a more sophisticated use of the MCMI-III; often in specialized contexts. I found it particularly useful for forensic use.
