The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (mcmi) is a useful instrument for the assessment of personality disorders and clinical syndromes.A recent survey on psychological test usage indicated that the mcmi is among the 25 most frequently used psychological tests in clinical practice and that the mcmi is ranked third, behind only the mmpi and the Rorschach, in terms of research.
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 behaviours relevant to correctional settings.
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 behaviours 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. Backed by Dr. Millon's APA award-winning theory of personality as well as continued validation of clinical factors, the MCMI–III Corrections Report helps enable effective decision-making throughout the incarceration process.
Designed to support quicker, better, more cost-effective decision-making
The Corrections Report helps mental health staff, clinicians, social workers, case managers, security personnel, and line staff workers:

Mcmi Interpretation Guide
- The predictive strength of the new empirically based statements can help correctional personnel more accurately anticipate management, staffing, and budgetary needs by helping to identify those offenders who may require higher levels of mental health, substance abuse, and anger management services, and those individuals who may not benefit from these programs.
- The brief MCMI–III test is especially well-suited for correctional settings and can easily be administered by appropriately trained personnel.
- The MCMI–III test can be taken in the traditional pencil-and-paper format or by compact disc recording.
