      abstract = {This book presents an innovative approach to clinical  assessment in psychiatry based on a number of  psychopathological dimensions with a presumed underlying  pathophysiology, that are related to fundamental  phenomenological aspects and lie on a continuum from  normality to pathology. It is described how the evaluation  of these dimensions with a specific, validated rapid  assessment instrument could easily integrate and enrich the  classical diagnostic DSM-5 or ICD-10 assessment. The  supplemental use of this dimensional approach can better  capture the complexity underlying current categories of  mental illness. The findings from a large patient sample  suggest how this assessment could give a first glance at  how variable and multifaceted the psychopathological  components within a single diagnostic category can be, and  thereby optimise diagnosis and treatment choices. Being  short and easy to complete, this dimensional assessment can  be done in a busy clinical setting, during an ordinary  psychiatric visit, and in an acute clinical context, with  limited effort by a minimally trained clinician. Therefore,  it provides interesting and useful information without  additional costs, and allows research work to be performed  even in difficult settings.},
