精神病理学的大多数现代研究都是由精神障碍的分类模型构成的，该模型体现在精神障碍的诊断和统计手册，第4版（DSM-IV：美国精神病学协会，1994）中。然而，DSM的分类模型与关于精神病理学变异的强有力的经验观察是不相容的，例如在同一个人身上发生多种不同的精神障碍的趋势。这篇特邀论文的目的是概述DSM分类方法的潜在替代方案：一种概念化和研究精神病理学的维度和心理测量学方法。我们讨论了维度方法的优势，一些现代统计技术，可以招募在服务的维度方法，以及如何整合的维度方法与行为的精神病理学评估和研究的方法。(C)2002爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
Most modern research on psychopathology is framed by the categorical model of mental disorders embodied in the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV: American Psychiatric Association, 1994). Nevertheless, the categorical model of the DSM is incompatible with robust empirical observations about psychopathological variation, such as the tendency for multiple, putatively distinct mental disorders to occur in the same persons. The goal of this invited essay is to outline a potential alternative to the DSM's categorical approach: a dimensional and psychometrically-informed approach to conceptualizing and studying psychopathology. We discuss the advantages of the dimensional approach, some modern statistical technologies that can be recruited in the service of the dimensional approach, and ways of integrating the dimensional approach with a behavioral approach to psychopathology assessment and research.
