DIAGNOSES<br />

“Do some work in <strong>the</strong> world”<br />

Predict prognosis<br />

Predict treatment response<br />

Reflect neurobiological or genetic risk factors<br />

Avoid metaphysics<br />

Avoid value judgments when possible<br />

Avoid one-cause etiological models<br />

But causes may have a common pathway<br />

Kendler, 2012<br />
