Abstract

Given the recent increase in transdiagnostic research, it is important to discern how dimensional models of psychopathology could be used to guide personalized, dynamic assessment and treatment of symptoms. Using the person-specific approach described by Fisher (2015), we devised an initial 4-step algorithm for devising a treatment plan based on modular cognitive behavioral therapy using results obtained from within-person factor analyses and dynamic factor models. Then, we describe the improvement and digitization of the algorithm, termed Dynamic Assessment Treatment Algorithm (DATA). The development, structure, and clinical implications of DATA are discussed.

  • Over time, a recursive idionomic process-based functional analytic strategy would build a body of empirical nomothetic categories with known treatment utility.

    “Over time, this recursive idionomic process-based functional analytic strategy would build a body of empirical nomothetic categories with known treatment utility [120][121][122] .”

    From “Third-wave” cognitive and behavioral therapies and the emergence of a process-based approach to intervention in psychiatry (2021) · cites this paper as [121]

    The Introduction’s ‘Utility of a person-specific approach’ section says that individual symptom dynamics can inform personalized interventions. But the ‘From diagnoses to dimensions’ section distinguishes this approach from nomothetic analysis, and the paper does not say that repeated use would build empirical nomothetic categories with known treatment utility.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
