Colin DeYoung:
"psychopathology should be assessed in two stages, again corresponding to the difference between characteristic adaptations and trait or symptom dimensions. The first task in any assessment must be to determine (a) whether the person is persistently unable to make progress toward their goals (considering the entirety of their collection of goals, especially paying attention to basic needs and motives of which the person may not be fully aware), or (b), if they have only recently had a serious setback in goal progress, whether they seem to be making progress in adaptation toward finding new goals, interpretations, and/or strategies that are likely to allow them to resume effective goal pursuit. Only after identifying that psychopathology is present does one need to proceed to the second stage, which involves characterizing the features of psychopathology through a thorough review of the major dimensions of psychopathology and their various subdimensions."
