Work this domain
Observe
Record only what is directly observable in this domain — the facts, before any meaning is attached.
Elicit
Ask open, non-leading questions to bring out the experience in the patient's own words.
Clarify
Follow up to pin down the exact quality of the experience (ownership, agency, source, conviction, control, context).
Classify
Name the phenomenon precisely using descriptive-psychopathology vocabulary — not a diagnosis. Open the Atlas ›
Differentiate
Distinguish it from the phenomena it is most often confused with; find the single discriminating fact. Find comparisons ›
Document
Write the finding so that observation, patient report and clinician inference stay clearly separated.
