A hierarchy of classes of personal illness model is proposed and was assessed using a new self-report measure, the Delusions-Symptoms-States Inventory (DSSI). Of 480 psychiatric patients 93.3% had a symptom patterns conforming to the model. It was additionally found that single syndrome patterns, within a particular class, occurred significantly more often than those not classifiable in any higher class. Finally, the relationship between each possible pair of the 12 syndromes was examined. Some of the implications of the model and the data are discussed in terms of the development, remission, assessment, and treatment of personal illness.
提出了个人疾病模型的类别层次结构，并使用一种新的自我报告测量方法——妄想-症状-状态量表（DSSI）进行了评估。在480名精神病患者中，93.3%的患者症状模式符合该模型。此外还发现，在特定类别中，单一综合征模式的出现频率明显高于那些无法归入任何更高类别的模式。最后，研究了12种综合征中每一对可能组合之间的关系。从个人疾病的发展、缓解、评估和治疗方面讨论了该模型和数据的一些意义。
