A shame-humiliation theory of paranoid processes embodied in a successful computer simulation model has clinical implications for the understanding, treatment, management, and prevention of paranoid disorders. The multiplicity and variety of these implications indicate that the theoretical model is more than ad hoc, since it potentially contributes new empirical content to existing knowledge about paranoid disorders. Among rival theories, a more acceptable one is that with a large consequence class, members of which turn out to be true, and that which most effectively serves multiple purposes.
一个成功的计算机模拟模型所体现的偏执过程的羞耻-羞辱理论，对于偏执性障碍的理解、治疗、管理及预防具有临床意义。这些意义的多样性和丰富性表明，该理论模型并非临时拼凑而成，因为它有可能为关于偏执性障碍的现有知识增添新的实证内容。在相互竞争的理论中，一个更可接受的理论是具有大量后果类别且其中的成员被证明是正确的理论，以及最有效地服务于多种目的的理论。
