Q

HiTOP- One dimensional approach to classification

A
  • Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP)
    • Dimensional model of psychopathology
    • Taxonomy is the way you categorize something
    • Hierarchical is starting from the bottom to the top
    • Fully empirical nosology/classification system
      • Based on independent, research studies
      • Groups related symptoms together, reducing heterogeneity
      • Combines co-occurring systems, reducing comorbidity
      • Everything is measured on dimension/continuum, removing cut-offs
    • Aims to systematize and facilitate research and clinical practice
    • Self reports and clinical interviews developed/being revised
      • Assessments results given as a summary of facets, etc.
