Abstract

Standard research designs, literature reviews, and case study methodologies do not meet the need for development of new clinically relevant hypotheses. To the contrary, these standard forms of publication have tended to promote conformity and stifle divergent research. This paper describes a method of producing empirically based clinical hypotheses that is more open-ended than standard methods, but also more empirical than clinical opinion. A developmental ordered set of cases, each with standardized assessments and set within its own family system across two or sometimes three generations can approximate the advantages of a sequential, cross-sectional longitudinal research design. A review of the literature suggests the need for more divergent approaches to research. This approach is described here and applied to sexual signs and behavior in children in the accompanying paper.

一个发展的病例方法学，以解决新的临床问题

标准的研究设计、文献综述和案例研究方法不能满足发展新的临床相关假设的需要。相反，这些标准的出版形式往往会促进一致性，扼杀不同的研究。本文描述了一种产生基于经验的临床假设的方法，这种方法比标准方法更开放，但也比临床意见更经验。一个发展有序的案例集，每个案例都有标准化的评估，并在其自己的家庭系统中设置跨越两代或有时三代，可以近似连续的，横断面纵向研究设计的优势。对文献的回顾表明，需要更多不同的研究方法。本文描述了这种方法，并在随附的论文中应用于儿童的性迹象和行为。

期刊介绍： Human Systems Management (HSM) is an interdisciplinary, international, refereed journal, offering applicable, scientific insight into reinventing business, civil-society and government organizations, through the sustainable development of high-technology processes and structures. Adhering to the highest civic, ethical and moral ideals, the journal promotes the emerging anthropocentric-sociocentric paradigm of societal human systems, rather than the pervasively mechanistic and organismic or medieval corporatism views of humankind’s recent past. Intentionality and scope Their management autonomy, capability, culture, mastery, processes, purposefulness, skills, structure and technology often determine which human organizations truly are societal systems, while others are not. HSM seeks to help transform human organizations into true societal systems, free of bureaucratic ills, along two essential, inseparable, yet complementary aspects of modern management: a) the management of societal human systems: the mastery, science and technology of management, including self management, striving for strategic, business and functional effectiveness, efficiency and productivity, through high quality and high technology, i.e., the capabilities and competences that only truly societal human systems create and use, and b) the societal human systems management: the enabling of human beings to form creative teams, communities and societies through autonomy, mastery and purposefulness, on both a personal and a collegial level, while catalyzing people’s creative, inventive and innovative potential, as people participate in corporate-, business- and functional-level decisions. Appreciably large is the gulf between the innovative ideas that world-class societal human systems create and use, and what some conventional business journals offer. The latter often pertain to already refuted practices, while outmoded business-school curricula reinforce this problematic situation.
