abstract="A total of 42 mental health clinic patients with suicidal ideation and 89 patients without suicidal ideation were administered the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-II (MCMI-II; Millon, 1987). All participants were active duty military personnel. A total of 15 MCMI-II scale elevations were significantly different between the 2 groups. A pair of discriminant analyses, the 1st utilizing all 25 MCMI-II scales, and the 2nd with only the 13 MCMI-II personality scales, produced correct classification rates of 80.92% and 75.57%, respectively. A total of 6 of 7 MCMI-II &quot;suicide&quot; items significantly differentiated suicidal ideation and nonsuicidal ideation groups. <br><br>RESULTS of this study offer initial support for the utility of the MCMI-II as a potential screening device for suicidal ideation.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
