Logical Structure of a Sentence as a Tool for the Assessment of Thought Disorder (ancient Indian View)

Logical structure of a sentence as a tool for the assessment of thought disorder (Ancient Indian View) It is now well recognised that inconsistancy in the spoken or written language of schizophrenic subjects is due to their false logic behind the structural aspect of sentence. The defect in the schizophrenic language is in the output rather than in the input/ That is, schizophrenics can perceive and process language normally but they are impaired in some aspect of language production (Rochester 1973). Many attempts have been made to find out the underlying factors in schizophrenics speech, as speech is considered as a vital sign in the diagnosis of schizophrenia a hydrogenous clinical entity with diverse manifestations and outcomes.
