Millon Pre-Adolescent Clinical Inventory (M-PACI)

T. Millon, R. Tringone, C. Millon & S.Grossman L

Unlike instruments that focus on a single clinical area such as anxiety or depression, the M-PACI assessment provides an integrated view that synthesises the child’s emerging personality styles and clinical syndromes, helping clinicians detect early signs of Axis I and Axis II disorders.

Use M-PACI results to help

• Evaluate troubled pre-adolescents to confirm diagnostic hypotheses
• Contribute to individualised treatment planning by providing an integrated picture of emerging personality patterns and current clinical signs

• Measure progress before, during and after treatment

Key Features

• Contains fewer than 100 questions and takes most pre-adolescents only 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
• Uses age-appropriate language and requires minimal reading level.
• Validated against expert clinician judgments and other leading self-report inventories for this age group.
• Developed by Dr Theodore Millon, a leader in the field of personality development.

•  A summary of potential treatment strategies, tailored to each patient, is provided in the M-PACI interpretive report.

This information can help clinicians decide which issues to focus on during treatment and how to address them with the patient.
