Used a cluster analytic procedure to describe mental illness. Data for 2,600 mental patients from a research record system were clustered into six symptom and four antecedent dimensions. The patients were typed into seven antecedent and seven symptom types according to their patterns of scores over these dimensions. The types were related to diagnostic data, the antecedent and symptom dimensions, impairment ratings, outcomes and biodata. Significant relationships of the types with all the classes of data are reported. The relationships of the types with four diagnostic classes and the merits of typing as a means of defining mental illnesses are discussed.
使用聚类分析程序来描述精神疾病。从一个研究记录系统中获取的2600名精神科患者的数据被聚类为六个症状维度和四个前驱维度。根据患者在这些维度上的得分模式，将他们分为七种前驱类型和七种症状类型。这些类型与诊断数据、前驱和症状维度、损伤评级、结果及生物数据相关。报告了这些类型与所有数据类别之间的显著关系。讨论了这些类型与四个诊断类别的关系以及将分型作为定义精神疾病的一种方法的优点。
