In Disordered Thinking and the Rorschach, James Kleiger provides a
thoroughly up-to-date text that covers the entire range of clinical
and diagnostic issues associated with the phenomenon of disordered
thinking as revealed on the Rorschach. Kleiger guides the reader
through the history of psychiatric and psychoanalytic
conceptualizations of the nature and significance of different
kinds of disordered thinking and their relevance to understanding
personality structure and differential diagnosis. He then moves on
to thorough reviews of the respective contributions of David
Rapaport, Robert Holt, Philip Holzman, and John Exner in
conceptualizing and scoring disordered thinking on the Rorschach.
These synopses are followed by an equally fascinating examination
of less well known research conceptualizations, which, taken
together, help clarify the basic interpretive conundrums besetting
the major systems. Finally, having brought the reader to a full
understanding of systematic exploration to date, Kleiger enters
into a detailed analysis of the phenomenological and psychodynamic
aspects of disordered thinking per se. Even experienced clinicians
will find themselves challenged to reconceptualize such familiar
categories as confabulatory or combinative thinking in a manner
that leads not only to new diagnostic precision, but also to a
richer understanding of the varieties of thought disturbances with
their equally variable therapeutic and prognostic implications.
With Disordered Thinking and the Rorschach, Kleiger has succeeded
in summarizing a wealth of experience pertaining to the rigorous
empirical detection and classification of disordered thinking.
Equally impressive, he has taken full advantage of the Rorschach as
an assessment instrument able to capture the richness of
personality and thus capable of providing a unique clinical window
into those crucially important differences in the quality of
thought that patients may evince.
