Extract

Science depends on the ability to measure natural phenomena. To increase our knowledge, accurate definitions and measurements of these phenomena are essential (Thompson, 1989). Over the past 20 years, many researchers have concentrated on learning how to define and measure psychiatric phenomena. The results of such research allow us to develop diagnostic criteria for various psychiatric disorders.
