The focus of the advocates of the Research Domain Critria (RDoC) on faulty brain circuits has led some to suspect it of being a reductionist enterprise. And because RDoC will eventually impact clinical psychiatry, some have feared that it will transform clinical psychiatry in a mindless and applied neurobehavioral science. We argue that if RDoC is officially endorsing a kind of reductionism, the particular kind of reductionism it endorses is not suffering from the shortcomings of more classical forms of reductionism. Because of that, at least in principle, RDoC could enrich rather than impoverish clinical psychiatry. This paper raises few potential problems of the RDoC for clinical psychiatry caused by its implicit epistemological reductionism.
研究领域标准（RDoC）的倡导者将重点放在有缺陷的脑回路方面，这使得一些人怀疑它是一个还原论的事业。而且由于RDoC最终会影响临床精神病学，一些人担心它会将临床精神病学转变为一门盲目的应用神经行为科学。我们认为，如果RDoC正式支持某种还原论，那么它所支持的那种还原论并不存在更经典形式的还原论的缺点。正因为如此，至少在原则上，RDoC可以丰富而不是削弱临床精神病学。本文提出了RDoC因其隐含的认识论还原论给临床精神病学带来的一些潜在问题。
