Summary

In her chapter, Katie Tabb focuses on one of the major selling points used in the rollout of the Research Domain Criteria initiative (RDoC), specifically the claim that RDoC aspires to be a part of the precision medicine revolution in medicine (Insel, 2014). From this perspective, a DSM diagnostic category such as major depressive disorder is too coarse-grained to guide treatment selection. The hope of RDoC is that genetic and physiological biomarkers for neuropsychological dimensions that cut across conventional diagnostic boundaries may identify more homogeneous patient groups who respond to treatment in similar ways.
