  • Revolutionizing Psychiatric Diagnoses: Understanding the HiTOP Model (a DSM Alternative) with Dr. Robert Krueger

    Revolutionizing Psychiatric Diagnoses: Understanding the HiTOP Model (a DSM Alternative) with Dr. Robert Krueger
    Jul 15 2025

    Dr. Robert Krueger returns to the show to join Dan in a conversation into psychiatric diagnoses. Dr. Krueger is a clinical psychologist and member of the DSM-5 Personality Disorders Workgroup.

    In this episode, Dan and Dr. Krueger discuss the limitations of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) in accurately diagnosing and treating psychiatric disorders. They explore the complexities of mental health conditions, emphasizing that many individuals do not fit neatly into categorical diagnoses and dive into the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) model, a new framework for understanding psychopathology that is hierarchical and dimensional, allowing for a more nuanced approach to diagnosis and treatment.
