Summary
In this rejoinder the author responds to the commentaries to the chapter. While the commentaries favor taxomonetric/categorical vs. dimensional approaches, the author explores various possibilities to integrate these two perspectives. Such an approach would better fit research finding and allows for preservation of the merits of each approach. Such integration has to resolve such challenges as definition of conceptually and clinically meaningful dimensions, identification of the disorder-specific concepts that are not dimensional, conceptualization of orthogonal dimensions, and integration of the dimensional and categorical approaches through identification of moderators.
