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.

Best regards,

Waldemar
