“…Despite this concern, there is evidence to suggest only small magnitude mean group changes on most MCMI-II personality scales between drug treatment intake and discharge in similar samples from three treatment programs. Furthermore, stability estimates were similar in the three samples and suggested moderate or higher stability levels on all MCMI-II scales (McMahon & Richards, 1996).…”

This study identified clinically meaningful psychopathology subgroups of drugdependent male veterans based on cluster analysis of Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-II (MCMI-II) records completed shortly after inpatient admission. A high pathology cluster subgroup was denned by clinically significant elevations on multiple personality disorder and symptom scales. An antisocial cluster subgroup was identified by a highly significant mean elevation on the Antisocial scale and secondary clinical elevations on the Aggressive and Narcissistic scales. Finally, a subclinical cluster subgroup was defined by the absence of clinically significant elevations on any MCMI-II scales. In comparison with members of the other two groups, members of the high pathology subgroup exhibited more substance abuse and psychiatric problems and less favorable attitudes relevant to HIV-AIDS risk reduction.

“…Overall, MCMI-II personality disorder scales are robustly correlated over time in studies of drug abusers, with most test-retest correlations exceeding 0.50 (de Groot et al, 2003;McMahon & Richards, 1996), only slightly lower than what has been found in a large student population (Lenzenweger, 1999).…”

Background The stability of personality disorders in substance abusers have been questioned. Previous research has suggested that personality disorder features change when substance use is reduced, but remain stable when substance use is continued. The current study extended this finding to alcohol patients. Materials and Methods Alcohol dependent subjects treated for alcohol problems were tested with the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory II (MCMI-II) at intake to inpatient treatment, discharge from treatment, and at 6 months follow-up. Test-retest correlations were calculated and compared with discriminant correlations, and measures of change were calculated. The association between percent of days abstinent and change in MCMI-II personality disorder scales was assessed using hierarchical regression controlling for baseline scores. Results MCMI-II personality disorder scales were significantly correlated across assessment waves, and comparison violations were relatively few. Large changes occurred during treatment, and only small changes from discharge to follow-up. Changes were associated with percent days abstinent for avoidant, dependent, and masochistic personality disorder scales. No significant differences were observed in the stability between the control and experimental condition. Conclusions The MCMI-II was found to be stable, and little evidence was found that there was a lack of discriminant validity. Changes in personality disorder severity as measured by self-report took place during treatment, rather than after. There was some indication that decreases in personality disorder scales from discharge to follow-up were associated with abstinence from drinking during follow-up.
