We present Psyclops, an interactive computer graphic system designed to help address a growing information dilemma in the examination of individual psychiatric cases. Ever more information is needed to better understand conscious experience, interpersonal behavior, and the formation of psychiatric signs and symptoms, yet the information load already exceeds our usual methods of handling it. Psyclops consists of a suite of software modules, manual sections, and standards that have been developed according to guiding concepts intended to help one collect, organize, access, and explore complex data about a single subject for research, education, and ultimately, clinical care purposes. This document provides background in clinical information science and a description of the system; the reader interested in its application in clinical research theory development is referred to the companion paper in this issue (Horowitz et al., Pathological Grief: An Intensive Case Study).
我们介绍了Psyclops，这是一个交互式计算机图形系统，旨在帮助解决在个体精神病例检查中日益严重的信息困境。为了更好地理解意识体验、人际行为以及精神症状和体征的形成，需要越来越多的信息，但信息负荷已经超出了我们通常的处理方式。Psyclops由一套软件模块、手册章节和标准组成，这些都是根据指导概念开发的，旨在帮助人们收集、组织、获取和探索关于单个研究对象的复杂数据，以用于研究、教育以及最终的临床护理目的。本文提供了临床信息科学的背景以及该系统的描述；对其在临床研究理论发展中的应用感兴趣的读者，请参阅本期的配套论文（霍洛维茨等人，《病理性悲伤：一项深入案例研究》）。
