Extract

In discussions of schizophrenia, ‘thought disorder’ has a traditional place of prominence. Eugen Bleuler (2) believed ‘disturbances of association’ of ideas to be a fundamental symptom in schizophrenia, and among more recent authors Cameron (3) introduced the concept of ‘over-inclusiveness' to explain not only the thought process disorder, but many other symptoms of this condition.
