Empirical modeling of psychopathology identifies coherent spectra. These spectra transcend constructs traditionally conceptualized as “personality” vs. “psychopathology.” Progress in delineating biological—including genetic—correlates involves a process of interweaving biological indicators with the empirically-derived phenotypic structure of psychopathology.
