The book constitutes an extremely valuable and long overdue contribution to the psychiatric literature. In fact, this is the first book in English ever to deal exclusively with the subject of depersonalization. The book is very well written and covers the subject from a variety of angles. The sparse use of technical terminology makes the book accessible to a general audience, and no doubt both sufferers and clinicians will benefit from it. Psychological Medicine
