Abstract: Thought disorder was studied in 21 paranoid and 24 non-paranoid schizophrenics fulfilling the research diagnostic criteria using the Thought, Language and Communication Scale.

“…A simple thought-disordered versus non-thought-disordered grouping of schizophrenic participants has been used in a number of previous semantic priming investigations. However, thought disorder is a highly state-dependent clinical symptom that is not specific to schizophrenia nor to clinical subtypes of schizophrenia (Mazumdar, Chaturvedi, & Gopinath, 1991). It is also difficult to operationalize and reliably measure thought disorder (definitions of thought disorder vary among investigators as do the methods of determining the presence and degree of thought disorder).…”

Otro hallazgo relacionado con la estructura factorial tiene que ver con la identificación de un grupo de síntomas que configuran las formas clásicas de paranoia, en la cual los síntomas de ansiedad, irritabilidad y agresividad se relacionan con temas delirantes, generalmente de tipo persecutorio (35).…”

“…Despite von Dormarus's princple, the idea that normal thought processes are at work in delusion without necessarily postulating a specific logic of delusional thought has increasingly caught on [26][27][28]. In his wide-ranging review of the literature on thought disorders in delusional perception, Cutting [29] has emphasized the nonspecificity of mechanisms like overinclusion.…”
