Some people feel disconnected from their "I", and the world around them seems unreal, as if their life is happening with someone else. This condition is called depersonalization, it is poorly understood and difficult to diagnose. It is known that it can be caused by trauma or severe stress, but in Russia there are very few specialists who work with this disorder and know how to treat it.American psychiatrist Daphne Simeon and Australian journalist Jeffrey Abugela, who has lived with depersonalization, described in detail the clinical signs, research history, theories of pathogenesis and methods of treatment of depersonalization disorder. The work of the authors, presented for the first time in Russian, is based on the knowledge accumulated by the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and the British Institute of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge.This audio book will be of interest to mental health professionals and people with depersonalization who are trying to understand what is happening to them and find a way to recovery.
