The following schizophrenic speech is symptomatic of a thought disorder. Name one thought disorder and use an example from the excerpt to illustrate it. "What I concentrate on is vital, there are no navels no onts in his game. My dreams tell me not to mix lions without my shoes, my bridge to my untottered male knowledge."
What will be an ideal response?
The thought disorders are neologisms, loose associations, and word salad. Neologisms, or new words that have meaning only to the person speaking them, and loose associations are illustrated in the passage. Some examples of neologisms from the passage are onts and untottered. Examples of loose associations in the passage are the transitions from concentration to navels, from navels to dreams, from dreams to lions, from lions to shoes, and from shoes to male knowledge.
