The Millon Behavioral Health Inventory instrument is a brief self-report personality inventory designed to help the clinician assess the psychological coping factors related to the physical health care of adult medical patients. The MBHI instrument provides valuable information about the patient's style of coping and the patient's perceptions of the kinds of stress that may be affecting his or her medical condition.
The MBHI instrument is used in health care and counseling settings by psychologists and psychiatrists who work with patients in hospitals, clinics, and private practice. It is useful in:
• Evaluation and screening of physically ill, injured, and surgical patients to help identify possible psychosomatic complications or help predict response to illness or treatment.
• Workers' compensation evaluations to help assess stress-related claims. For claims related to physical injuries, the MBHI instrument can help in the development of effective rehabilitation programs.
• Evaluation and screening of individuals in specialty clinics or programs (e.g., pain, stress, headache) who have problems that may stem from a psychological disorder or an unidentified stressor.
