FROM THE BOOK JACKET:
The MCMI-III is the foremost personality assessment instrument in use today
and has quickly become the instrument of choice among clinicians evaluating
psychiatric patients. A Beginner's Guide to the MCMI-III provides an excellent
introduction to the instrument and teaches readers how to master the
fundamentals of its use. This guide features:
- a straightforward explanation of Millon's theory of personality
- comprehensive coverage of MCMI-III's composition, including guidance on
administering and scoring the inventory
- detailed descriptions of clinical personality patterns and personality
disorders
- guidelines and tips for writing complete and accurate psychological
profiles
- practice cases and review exercises to test your understanding
From the foreword by Theodore Millon, PhD, D.Sc.:
What a welcome idea, a brief and intelligently organized instructional text.
Following a logical sequence of subject areas, Dr. Jankowski establishes a solid
foundation for students by setting down the essentials of the test's guiding
theory, then provides a thoughtful articulation of the structure and composition
of the inventory; both have been done in a graceful and illuminating writing
style, easily understood by students with minimal prior preparation. The
numerous case illustrations, elf-testing exercises, and practical steps that Dr.
Jankowski provides the students throughout the test and its appendices make this
"brief" beginner's primer a superb addition, one that will find a valuable niche
in the well-established and growing body of books on the MCMI.
