Thought-related features are prevalent within psychopathologies, with around 50% of psychiatric disorders including aspects of thought in their diagnostic criteria. Even among higher levels of transdiagnostic work and a stronger focus on thought-related phenomenon, a gap remains between cognitive and clinical fields. Here, we aimed to bridge the gap between these two fields by providing a high-level organization of the most prevalently studied mental health-related aspects of thought. In this review, we surveyed the thought literature with a focus on clinical disorders with thought-related phenomena in their diagnostic criteria. From our review we identified three high level dimensions of thoughts: the content of thought, the dynamics of thought, and the relationship to thought. Within each of these levels, we then expanded on the specific aspects of thought highlighted in the cognitive and clinical literature. Identification of these categorical themes will help to isolate the specific aspects of thought driving the persistence of mental health disorders. Knowledge of the underlying cognitive mechanisms that drive disorder-related impairment can then be used to create more effective and targeted interventions.
与思维相关的特征在精神病理学中普遍存在，约50%的精神疾病在其诊断标准中包含思维方面。即使在更高水平的跨诊断研究以及对与思维相关现象的更强关注中，认知领域和临床领域之间仍存在差距。在此，我们旨在通过对最常研究的与心理健康相关的思维方面进行高层次组织来弥合这两个领域之间的差距。在本综述中，我们调查了思维文献，重点关注诊断标准中具有与思维相关现象的临床疾病。通过我们的综述，我们确定了思维的三个高层次维度：思维内容、思维动态以及与思维的关系。在这些维度的每一个中，我们随后详细阐述了认知和临床文献中突出的思维具体方面。识别这些分类主题将有助于分离出驱动精神健康障碍持续存在的思维具体方面。然后，对驱动与障碍相关损害的潜在认知机制的了解可用于创建更有效和有针对性的干预措施。
