Biologically oriented psychiatric research usually relies more on abstract nosological concepts than on purely descriptive psychopathological syndromes. However, biological validation of psychiatric diagnoses has not been possible so far. More recent findings emphasize the nosological unspecificity, but syndromal specificity of biological data. It seems promising therefore to differentiate psychopathological descriptions more clearly by using objective methods of behavioural assessment and analysis. Concept, methods and examples of this empirical approach will be outlined.
以生物学为导向的精神病学研究通常更多地依赖抽象的疾病分类概念，而非纯粹描述性的精神病理综合征。然而，迄今为止，精神病诊断的生物学验证尚无法实现。最近的研究结果强调了生物学数据在疾病分类上的非特异性，但在综合征方面具有特异性。因此，使用行为评估和分析的客观方法更清晰地区分精神病理学描述似乎很有前景。将概述这种实证方法的概念、方法和示例。
