Abstract
After our journey through the ongoing paradigm shift from a disorder-centred approach to a person-centred approach and then to a functional domains perspective, we introduce the RDoC framework as a current working model and research agenda to support this paradigm shift. Furthermore, we discuss how it orients the authors of each chapter of this book. After detailing the contents of each chapter, we discuss whether it is possible to define precision psychotherapy and determine its contributions to clinical work.
