The book is essentially as its title states: "A Beginner's Guide to the MCMI-III",
By
This review is from: A Beginner's Guide to the MCMI-III (Hardcover)
The book contains chapters related to Millon's theory of personality, MCMI-III composition, general guidelines for administering and scoring the MCMI-III, interpretation of the validity and modifying indices, interpretation of the clinical and severe personality pattern scales, interpretation of the clinical and severe syndromes scales, and writing a psychological report based on MCMI-III results, and it also contains appendices with case vignettes and an example interpretative report.This book is recommended for students and clinicians who are new to the MCMI-III. It is easy to read and understand and provides an overview of the theoretical foundation and clinical utility of the MCMI-III. It likely would be viewed by advanced clinicians as rather basic and in need of supplementation by other texts and materials related to the MCMI-III and Millon's theory of personality.

Too basic to be of any use,
This review is from: A Beginner's Guide to the MCMI-III (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my Personality Assessment class and have never used it since. I use the MCMI regularly, but this book is simply too basic for anyone who actually plans on using the MCMI to write reports. I strongly recommend against buying this book and instead buying something which will actually help in the interpretation of the MCMI. Just jump to an actual guide to the MCMI - actually, the manual that comes with the test from the publisher is quite good. If you want something more, get Choca's book. Not all beginners books are so useless - Butcher's Beginner's Guide to the MMPI, for example.

Great book for MCMI-III beginners!,
This review is from: A Beginner's Guide to the MCMI-III (Hardcover)
As a doctoral psychology student, I remember taking Objective Methods and having to learn the MMPI-2 and then we had 3 weeks to learn the MCMI-III. We were assigned this book as required reading. And thank God. I still have supervisors and sometimes professors that ask me to lend it to them, as it's a great refresher for the instrument. Two thumbs up!
