Clinical diagnosis and MCMI codetypes

Article Abstract:

A thorough review of the psychological literature on the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) was conducted to create a table of disorders associated with certain MCMI profile codetypes. The resulting table shows MCMI codes for a wide range of clinical syndromes, personality disorders, and various neuroses and psychoses. Some 400 MCMI citations form the basis for the table.
