Asyndesis

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Alternate term for loosening of association. A milder form of derailment of thought, it is marked by the patient leaping from topic to topic which have only the most tenuous, if any, connection with each other. This is in contrast with flight of ideas, whereby the patient's successive ideas may be linked and "understandable" to the listener.

See also #Entgleisen term introduced by (Cameron).
