“…Another consideration is that previous research utilizing the MCMI, even among Latinas, 16,17 included clinical samples, whereas the present study included a community sample which may be less severe in symptomatology; additional research is needed to investigate this possibility. Finally, the clinical picture of ED symptomatology in Latina women may represent a different cluster of family dynamic issues, culture, and other psychosocial issues than observed in other ethnic groups (particularly White women) and that result in PDs having differential associations with EDs.…”

“…Similar to White women, 12 Latinas with BN reported clinically significant levels of avoidant personality traits, 16 but they did not report clinically significant levels of borderline personality traits, which is highly comorbid among White women with BN. 12 Moreover, Latinas with BED reported clinically significant schizoid and dependent personalities, 17 which is different than the patterns observed in White women. 12 Taken together, these findings suggest that there may be some similarities in personality comorbidities between Latinas and White women with EDs, but there also may be important differences; therefore, behavioral health practitioners and researchers cannot simply apply current research (which includes predominantly White women) when assessing and treating Latinas with EDs but must expand the literature to focus on this population.…”

Little is known about personality disorders (PD) and comorbidities amongst Latinas with eating disorders (ED). The dysregulation and chronicity of PDs can complicate and augment the symptomatology of EDs. This set of analyses provide a preliminary examination of PD and psychopathology in a sample of Latina women with ED. Participants (N=34) were administered the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM, Eating Disorders Examination, and Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III to assess personality pathology, and questionnaires (BDI-II and BSI) to assess psychological functioning. Results indicated the most common clinically significant trait in the sample was Depressive personality (50% of the sample had a score of 75 or higher on this trait). For BN and BED, Avoidant (41%) and Depressive (65%) personalities, respectively, were the most common clinically significant traits. Anxiety disorders were the most common psychiatric diagnoses, and 52.9% of the sample reported both clinically significant PD traits and other major psychopathology. There were no significant differences between the BED and BN groups on prevalence of PD traits and psychopathology. This pilot study highlights the need for further examination of PD and psychopathology in Latinas with ED. Unlike previous research with White women, we found no differences on PD and psychopathology between BED and BN, and the most prevalent PDs among Latinas were different than White women. Personality and psychological functioning should be assessed in all patients with ED, with ongoing research focused on identifying patterns in understudied groups such as Latinas, a practice that may improve treatment for this underserved population.

This article examines the influence of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) as a clinical and research instrument beyond the borders of the United States. The MCMI's theoretical and empirical grounding, its alignment with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), and scales that can be interpreted both categorically and dimensionally, are the primary features that make the test attractive. We begin with studies that evaluated the construct equivalence of the different language adaptations. Data from the most widely researched non English-language forms (Danish, Dutch, and Spanish) show excellent comparability with Millon's original. Nevertheless, significant problems were noted in efforts to create clinical groups that would allow for equivalence of diagnostic accuracy when using the cutoff scores. Although dimensional aspects of the scale scores were not affected by this, the adapted measures might show attenuated diagnostic accuracy compared with Millon's original. Next, we present MCMI studies conducted in clinical settings to document where the adapted tests have made their greatest impact in the international literature. A wide variety of clinical applications demonstrated broad utility, and given the high number of issues addressed, we think Millon's influence will certainly stand the test of time in different domains and settings.
