The use of neologisms has long been considered a symptom of schizophrenic thought disorder. However, a review of current literature and psychiatric textbooks reveals few clinical examples of neologism that may be used for illustrative purposes. A prominent exception is a paper by Forest (1969). The purpose of this communication is to present the case history of a schizophrenic patient, a partial list of his neologistic productions, and a brief analysis of the classification of neologisms.
