Feelings of depersonalization-derealization, or a sense of
detachment from one's normal sense of self, are not uncommon.
People often describe being outside of themselves, or watching
themselves as if in a movie, during "unreal" circumstances such as
a car crash or other trauma. This is the mind's normal dissociative
reaction at work. This protective system can go awry, however, and
can be triggered by ongoing, lower-level stresses, childhood
neglect, or certain drugs. Despite its prevalence,
depersonalization is often misunderstood and is understudied
compared to other conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar
disorder. First published in 2006, Feeling Unreal,
Depersonalization Disorder and the Loss of the Self was the first
book of its kind to delve into the mysterious phenomenon of
Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder (DDD). This fully revised
and updated edition describes extensive new findings on the origins
of DDD, the brain science supporting the diagnosis, and
cutting-edge treatment approaches. DDD is examined from medical and
psychiatric perspectives, but as the authors reveal, it also
emerges in literary, philosophical and spiritual investigations.
Feeling Unreal thoroughly explores these different aspects in a
fascinating and essential resource that is clear and accessible to
medical professionals and general readers alike. Physicians, mental
health professionals, families, and those who have experienced DDD
themselves will find with this book trustworthy and cutting-edge
information on DDD, on its history and treatment, and on its place
in literature and philosophy as well as in contemporary society.
