Quantitative, empirical approaches to establishing the structure of psychopathology hold promise to improve on traditional psychiatric classification systems. The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) is a framework that summarizes the substantial and growing body of quantitative evidence on the structure of psychopathology. To achieve its aims, HiTOP must incorporate emerging research in a systematic, ongoing fashion. In this article, we describe the historical context and grounding of the principles and procedures for revising the HiTOP framework. Informed by strengths and shortcomings of previous classification systems, the proposed revisions protocol is a formalized system focused around three pillars: (a) prioritizing systematic evaluation of quantitative evidence by a set of transparent criteria and processes, (b) balancing stability with flexibility, and (c) promoting inclusion over gatekeeping in all aspects of the process. We detail how the revisions protocol will be applied in practice, including the scientific and administrative aspects of the process. Additionally, we describe areas of the HiTOP structure that will be a focus of early revisions and outline challenges for the revisions protocol moving forward. The proposed revisions protocol is designed to ensure that the HiTOP framework reflects the current state of scientific knowledge on the structure of psychopathology and fulfils its potential to advance clinical research and practice.

修订精神病理学层次分类的原则和程序。


建立精神病理学结构的定量、实证方法有望改进传统的精神病学分类系统。精神病理学层次分类法 (HiTOP) 是一个框架，总结了有关精神病理学结构的大量且不断增长的定量证据。为了实现其目标，HiTOP 必须以系统、持续的方式整合新兴研究。在本文中，我们描述了修订 HiTOP 框架的原则和程序的历史背景和基础。考虑到以前分类系统的优点和缺点，拟议的修订协议是一个围绕三个支柱的正式系统：(a) 通过一套透明的标准和流程优先对定量证据进行系统评估，(b) 平衡稳定性与灵活性，以及(c) 促进包容性，而不是把关整个过程的各个方面。我们详细介绍了修订协议将如何在实践中应用，包括该过程的科学和管理方面。此外，我们还描述了 HiTOP 结构中将成为早期修订重点的领域，并概述了修订协议未来面临的挑战。拟议的修订协议旨在确保 HiTOP 框架反映精神病理学结构的科学知识的当前状态，并发挥其推进临床研究和实践的潜力。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
