The PSE-CATEGO-ID system and its approach to the sub-classification of depression is described. The principle of sub-classification partly corresponds to the empirical relationships between symptoms on affective disorder. Comparison of CATEGO and DSM III demonstrates that major differences of classification can arise because of differences of the classificatory algorithm even though similar lists of symptoms are used. Empirical studies of the PSE-CATEGORO-ID system are described and their importance in providing evidence for a rational choice between classificatory system is emphasised.
描述了PSE-CATEGO-ID系统及其对抑郁症进行亚分类的方法。亚分类原则部分对应于情感障碍症状之间的经验关系。CATEGO与DSM III的比较表明，即使使用相似的症状列表，由于分类算法的差异，也可能出现分类上的重大差异。文中描述了PSE-CATEGORO-ID系统的实证研究，并强调了它们在为分类系统之间的合理选择提供证据方面的重要性。
