I've seen a lot of critiques of latent profile analyses on here, but was wondering if anyone knows of a good paper that discusses these issues that would be a good resource for students?

We looked at six internalizing disorders with varied heterogeneity. One key finding here: The disorders with more theoretically possible symptom profiles consistently had more observed profiles too - the larger conceptual space for heterogeneity allowed for more variability in practice.
