Abstract
The tension between two fundamentally different approaches to characterizing and treating psychopathology has increased during the last year. These are the traditional diagnostic-category approach and the symptom dimensional approach. Progress made in the symptom-dimensional approach has reached the point where it may now challenge the diagnostic-category approach. This challenge has been bolstered by reports that pharmacological agents have greater specificity in their cognitive effects than previously recognized. This evidence is reviewed.
