Thank you for this, Gregg. The variant nosologies of psychopathology are fascinating. There does seem to be a tacit implication that one is obligated to choose one. This is a false choice as each describes a different, and often related, facet of a very complicated subject. Much more useful is the understanding that each are applicable.
