Testimony based on the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory: review, commentary, and guidelines.

Test results from the MCMI have been ruled admissible in court for a variety of clinical and forensic issues. This article addresses MCMI issues such as the test's applicability and admissibility of test results in forensic evaluations, test administration, test scoring, malingering and deception, prediction and diagnosis of behavior, reliability, validity, operating characteristics and diagnostic efficiency statistics, and use of computer-assisted interpretation of test results for forensic presentation. Recommendations are suggested for dealing with each of these issues in a forensic context.
