Well, I did it. I posted links to the special issue of Psychophysiology<\/font><\/em> on the elusive RDoC [RDoC…<\/a>], and I read some of the articles. I only get what they’re aiming at doing, but I’m left with no personal understanding of how this will get them there. There are things that I know I’ll never understand, and this is one of them – like the others in my little collage. There were snatches along the way that made sense and seemed like productive avenues, but then I was lost at sea once again.

To borrow a line from a friend, like the DSM-III that preceded it, the RDoC isn’t ready for prime time. That’s about all I can say with any confidence… <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
