N2  - An Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI)-based literature review found that the personality disorders of antisocial, aggressive-sadistic, passive-aggressive (negativistic), and, to some extent, narcissistic are more prevalent in the MCMI profile codes of male spouse abusers. There is a relative absence of Axis I syndromes, although substance abuse of moderate intensity was also extant in these profiles. Some patients produced a normal profile on the MCMI, and their domestic violence may not be a product of a personality disorder. We conclude that the MCMI may be a useful instrument to assess the personality of males in treatment for domestic violence. Elevations of these defined scales may be used as markers to evaluate personality styles at risk for domestic abuse.<p />
