Experiences in Translating the Millon Inventories in a European Country.(from the chapter) Theodore Millon introduced his assessment measures to Europe for the first time at the International Congress "Clinical Implications of the MMPI" held in 1983. He launched a new paradigm for constructing clinical psychiatric and psychological inventories that differed from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). A group of Danish psychiatrists and psychologists formed a "Millon study group." By furthering their exploration of Millon's inventories and theories, the group sought to investigate the impact of understanding a patient's psychopathology and need for treatment. Instrumental sources for group discussions and clinical vignettes included Millon's newly released seminal book, Disorders of Personality, DSM-III: Axis II (Millon, 1981), select Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI-I) patient profiles, and other available clinical evaluations and psychological tests, resulting in a pressing need to optimize the translation of the MCMI. This chapter focuses on how the translation of the MCMI-I took place and the efforts to optimize and revise the subsequent translations under the guidance of empirical research.
