Millon Clinical Inventories

The Millon Clinical Inventories consist of several tests.

M-PACI™ (Millon™ Pre-Adolescent Clinical Inventory)
The M-PACI test is used for pre-adolescent assessment in outpatient, inpatient, day treatment, and residential treatment settings. Psychologists, psychiatrists, school psychologists, counselors, juvenile justice professionals, and other mental health professionals can use M-PACI results to help:


 * Evaluate troubled pre-adolescents to confirm diagnostic hypotheses
 * Contribute to individualized treatment planning by providing an integrated picture of emerging personality patterns and current clinical signs
 * Measure progress before, during, and after treatment

Key Features

 * Contains fewer than 100 questions and takes most pre-adolescents only 15–20 minutes to complete.
 * Uses age-appropriate language and requires minimal reading level.
 * Validated against expert clinician judgments and other leading self-report inventories for this age group.
 * Developed by Dr. Theodore Millon, a leader in the field of personality development.
 * A summary of potential treatment strategies, tailored to each patient, is provided in the M-PACI interpretive report. This information can help clinicians decide which Conduct detailed evaluations to confirm diagnostic hypotheses
 * Create individualized treatment planning
 * Measure progress before, during and after treatment

Key Features

 * To help you formulate more precise treatment plans, the new Grossman Facet Scales identify personality processes (e.g., self-image, mood temperament) that underlie overall scale elevations on the Personality Pattern scales. Each personality scale now has three facet scales, for which results are presented in the automated reports.


 * Using an age-appropriate format, the MACI test helps measure a number of factors closely associated with adolescents, including Sexual Discomfort, Substance Abuse Proneness, Suicidal Tendency and Eating Dysfunctions.


 * Taking 30 minutes or less to complete, the MACI test is designed to obtain the maximum amount of information with a minimal amount of the test-taker’s effort — a feature that mental health professionals have found especially helpful in working with adolescents.

Norms
The normative population of the MACI test consists exclusively of clinical adolescent patients, offering relevant comparisons. The sample includes 1,017 adolescents from outpatient, inpatient and residential treatment programs in 28 states and Canada. The delineation of four distinct norm groups further enhances the test’s usefulness:


 * Males 13–15 years old
 * Females 13–15 years old
 * Males 16–19 years old
 * Females 16–19 years old

MAPI™ (Millon™ Adolescent Personality Inventory)
The MAPI instrument can be used for diagnosis and treatment planning in clinical, correctional, and educational settings by psychologists, psychiatrists, and school counselors, as well as other mental health and guidance professionals.

Key Features

 * Most adolescents can complete the test in 20–30 minutes, helping to reduce resistance to test-taking.

Scales
 * Scales help evaluate adolescent expressed concerns, personality styles, and coping patterns to help select the best approach to treatment and identify behavior patterns and issue that may need further exploration during therapy.

Norms
Normative date includes 430 adolescents involved in inpatient or outpatient psychological assessment or psychotherapy as well as 2,157 normal adolescents representing various socioeconomic levels.

MCMI-III™ (Millon™ Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III)
The MCMI-III test provides valuable support to psychologists and other qualified mental health professionals in clinical, counseling, medical, forensic and other settings in which individuals are being assessed for emotional, behavioral, or interpersonal difficulties. This theoretically grounded instrument can be used to help:


 * Assess the interaction of Axis I and Axis II disorders based on the DSM-IV classification system
 * Identify the deeper and pervasive personality characteristics underlying a patient's overt symptoms
 * Gain an integrated understanding of the relationship between personality characteristics and clinical syndromes to facilitate treatment decisions

Key Features

 * To facilitate more precise therapy planning, three facet scales have been added for each MCMI-III personality scale. The new facet scales were developed by Seth Grossman, PsyD, using factor analytic techniques within the framework of Dr. Millon’s theory. These scales help clinicians pinpoint specific personality processes (e.g., self-image, interpersonal conduct, cognitive style) that are the key elements composing overall elevations on the personality scales.


 * To help clinicians readily put test results to work, the Interpretive Report includes a Treatment Guide that provides short-term, focused treatment options and a Capsule Summary that gives a concise overview of diagnostic and therapeutic findings indicated by test results.


 * Unlike some other measures of personality and psychopathology, the MCMI-III Interpretive Report provides an integrated interpretation of the scales, including a description of the patient's personality characteristics and an assessment of clinical syndromes within the context of those characteritics. The report also proposes a list of possible DSM-IV diagnoses and a profile of base rate scores for all scales.


 * Taking only 25 minutes to complete, the MCMI-III instrument is designed to obtain the maximum amount of information with a minimal amount of patient effort. As the need for efficient and accurate differential diagnosis of complex disorders grows, mental health professional have increasingly come to value the MCMI-III test's brevity.

Norms
The extensive normative sample for the MCMI-III test consists of 998 males and females with a wide variety of diagnoses. This group includes patients seen in independent practices, clinics, mental health centers, forensic settings, residential facilities and hospitals.

The new Corrections report builds on the clinical norms and has norms based on 1,676 male and female inmates.

MCMI-III™ Corrections Report
(Millon™ Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III Corrections Report) Uniquely based on corrections norms, the MCMI-III Corrections Report presents targeted information to help psychologists and corrections professionals make security, management, and treatment decisions faster and more accurately. In addition to providing all of the clinical information to which MCMI-III test users are accustomed, the Corrections Report is distinguished by the inclusion of a one-page Correctional Summary of likely needs and behaviors relevant to correctional settings.

Now, this highly useful summary has been further strengthened by the addition of empirically based statements that classify an offender's probable need as High, Medium, or Low in three critical areas:

* mental health intervention * substance abuse treatment, and * anger management services.

Developed through a recent study that involved more than 10,000 offenders, these statements are designed to help inform staff of likely offender behaviors to help support crucial programming and placement decisions.

In addition, the summary provides clinically based statements on six issues of most concern in corrections settings:

* Reaction to Authority * Escape Risk * Disposition to Malinger * Response to Crowding / Isolation * Amenability to Treatment / Rehabilitation, and * Suicidal Tendencies
