Some forms of thinking which appear in psychiatric conditions are based on different and reversible levels of cognitive organization. The principle of Von Domarus and the concept of primary classes interpret some of these cognitive organizations and connect them to biological factors.
Thinking disorders are mostly intimately related to psychodynamic factors. The significance of these disorders has been misinterpreted in some anthropological and logical studies.
