Feeling unreal : depersonalization disorder and the loss of the self - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2006. - 242p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 219-231) and index.
Strangers to our selves -- Expressions of the inexpressible -- The path of understanding- a century of exploration -- Diagnosing depersonalization disorder -- Unraveling the enigma: clinical research on depersonalization disorder -- The biology of depersonalization -- The blow of the void -- Medication treatment of depersonalization -- Psychotherapy treatment of depersonalization.
Feeling Unreal is the first book to reveal what depersonalization disorder is all about. This important volume explores not only depersonalization, but the philosophical and literary implications of selflessness as well, while providing the latest research, possible treatments, and strategies for living and thriving when life seems 'unreal.' For those who still believe that such experiences are still a part of something else, that depersonalization is just a symptom and not a disorder in its own right, Feeling Unreal presents compelling evidence to the contrary. This book provides long-awaited answers for people suffering from depersonalization disorder and their loved ones, for mental health professionals, and for all students of the condition, while serving as a wake up call to the medical community at large.
