From constructs to circuits: how can the research domain criteria (rdoc) framework inform our clinical practice?

This Symposium will explore how the research domain criteria (RDoC) framework informs our understanding of child psychopathology. RDOC integrates many levels of information (from genomics and circuits to behavior and self-reports) to explore basic dimensions of functioning that span the full range of human behavior from normal to abnormal. Progress is being made in understanding the levels of information that are accessible from this line of inquiry. However, clinicians continue to rely on categorical diagnostic systems to evaluate and develop treatment plans for children and adolescents with mental health disorders.
