Recent years have evidenced a tremendous increase in research using a developmental psychopathology framework to examine clinical diagnoses among youth. Despite this increase, a relative dearth of literature systematically examines the development of co-occurring conditions among youth. In this introduction to the Special Issue on comorbidity among youth, we suggest that a developmental psychopathology perspective can provide an important foundation for the diagnosis of mental health problems among youth. As a potential framework for future investigations, we consider several developmental psychopathology principles that can inform assessment and diagnosis among youth psychological disorders. We use these principles as a foundation for considering co-occurring psychological disorders and provide potential explanations for comorbidity that can be addressed in future research that uses a developmental psychopathology perspective.
近年来，使用发展性精神病理学框架来研究青少年临床诊断的研究有了大幅增加。尽管有这种增长，但相对缺乏系统研究青少年共病情况发展的文献。在本期关于青少年共病的特刊引言中，我们认为发展性精神病理学视角可为青少年心理健康问题的诊断提供重要基础。作为未来研究的潜在框架，我们考虑了一些发展性精神病理学原则，这些原则可为青少年心理障碍的评估和诊断提供参考。我们将这些原则作为思考共病心理障碍的基础，并为共病现象提供潜在解释，这些解释可在未来采用发展性精神病理学视角的研究中得到探讨。
