ABSTRACT
No clinical syndrome can claim exclusive rights over the domain of disordered thinking. In addition to finding pathological thought organization in patients with schizophrenia, affective psychoses, and borderline conditions, disturbances in the process and content of thinking can be found in a range of other conditions as well. How useful is the Rorschach in identifying and conceptualizing thought disturbances in other psychiatric conditions? The clinical syndromes reviewed in this chapter include (1) Posttraumatic Stress and Dissociative Disorders, (2) Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, (3) Delusional Disorder, and (4) Organic Brain Impairment.
