Abstract
By moving beyond the limitations of traditional categorical diagnoses, the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework offers a comprehensive approach that enhances diagnostic accuracy and informs research. Embedding RDoC into clinical training will equip future psychologists with a deeper understanding of mental disorders, ultimately improving clinical practice and research outcomes.
