Extract

Depersonalization remains a subject whose fascination for psychiatric investigators shows no sign of waning. That this is so may partly be due to the striking nature of the symptomatology, though for many the philosophical problems it poses cannot fail to exercise much thought (Lewis, 1949). Numerous aetiologies have been advanced, but there exists no common agreement, even amongst those of similar psychiatric discipline, as to the origin of the condition.
