Empathy - Depersonalization
1
Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman,
in his book On Killing, suggests that
military training artificially creates
depersonalization in soldiers,
suppressing empathy and making it
easier for them to kill other human
beings.

Pseudoscience - Personalization of issues
Tight social groups and authoritarian
personality, suppression of dissent, and
groupthink can enhance the adoption of
beliefs that have no rational basis. In
attempting to confirm their beliefs, the
group tends to identify their critics as
enemies.

Depersonalization disorder
1
Providing an accurate description
through investigation has proved
challenging due to the subjective
nature of depersonalization, the
ambiguity of the language used to
describe episodes of
depersonalization and because the
experiences of depersonalization
overlap with those of derealization,
which are two separate disorders.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-personalization-toolkit.html
Depersonalization disorder
1
Depersonalization disorder is thought
to be largely caused by severe
traumatic lifetime events including
childhood abuse, accidents, war,
torture, panic attacks and bad drug
experiences. It is unclear whether
genetics play a role; however, there
are many neurochemical and
hormonal changes in individuals
suffering with depersonalization
disorder.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-personalization-toolkit.html
Depersonalization disorder
1
Although the disorder is an alteration in
the subjective experience of reality, it is
not related to psychosis, as sufferers
maintain the ability to distinguish
between their own internal experiences
and the objective reality of the outside
world. During episodic and continuous
depersonalization, sufferers are able to
distinguish between reality and fantasy,
and their grasp on reality remains stable
at all times.Simeon and Abugel p. 32 133
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-personalization-toolkit.html
Depersonalization disorder
While depersonalization disorder was
once considered rare among the general
population, lifetime experiences with the
disorder are common in about 1%-2% of
the general populace. While these
numbers may seem small,
depersonalization experiences were
frequently described by a majority of the
population but in varying intensities.

Depersonalization disorder is associated
with cognitive disruptions in early
perceptual and attentional processes.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-personalization-toolkit.html
Depersonalization disorder - Symptoms
The core symptom of
depersonalization disorder is the
subjective experience of unreality in
one's sense of self, and as such there
are no clinical signs. Patients who
suffer from depersonalization also
experience an almost uncontrollable
urge to question and think about the
nature of reality and existence as well
as other deeply philosophical

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-personalization-toolkit.html
Depersonalization disorder - Symptoms
Individuals who experience
depersonalization can feel divorced from
their own personal physicality by sensing
their body sensations, feelings, emotions
and behaviors as not belonging to the
same person or identity. Also, a
recognition of self breaks down (hence the
name). Depersonalization can result in
very high anxiety levels, which can
intensify these perceptions even further.

Depersonalization disorder - Symptoms

Patients suffering from depersonalization
disorder have also certain visual
stimulations such as hallucinations and
rapid fluctuations in lighting
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-personalization-toolkit.html
Depersonalization disorder - Symptoms
Factors that tend to diminish
symptoms are comforting interpersonal
interactions, intense physical or
emotional stimulation, and relaxation.
Some factors are identified as relieving
symptom severity such as diet or
exercise; alcohol and fatigue are listed
by others as worsening symptoms.

Depersonalization disorder - Symptoms
1
First experiences with depersonalization may
be frightening, with patients fearing loss of
control, dissociation from the rest of society
and functional impairment. The majority of
patients suffering from depersonalization
disorder misinterpret the symptoms, thinking
that they are signs of serious mental illness
or brain dysfunction. This commonly leads to
an increase of anxiety experienced by the
patient which contributes to the worsening of
symptoms.

The Dissociative Experiences Scale
(DES) is a simple, quick, selfadministered questionnaire that has
been widely used to measure
dissociative symptoms. It has been
used in hundreds of dissociative
studies, and can detect
depersonalization and derealization
experiences.Simeon and Abugel p. 734

Depersonalization disorder - Diagnosis
1
Depersonalization disorder is classified
differently in the DSM-IV-TR and in the
ICD-10: In the DSM-IV-TR this disorder it
is seen as a dissociative disorder; in the
ICD-10 as an independent neurotic
disorder. Whether depersonalization
disorder should be characterized as a
dissociative disorder can be discussed; it
relies very much upon how dissociative is
being described.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-personalization-toolkit.html
Depersonalization disorder - DSM-IV-TR

The diagnostic criteria defined in section
300.6 of the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders are as follows:
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-personalization-toolkit.html
Depersonalization disorder - DSM-IV-TR

# Longstanding or recurring feelings
of being detached from one's mental
processes or body, as if one is

occur while the individual is
experiencing another mental
disorder, and is not associated with
substance use or a medical illness.

The DSM-IV-TR specifically recognizes
three possible additional features of
depersonalization disorder:

# Derealization,
experiencing the

Dissociation is defined as a disruption in the
usually integrated functions of
consciousness, memory, identity and
perception, leading to a fragmentation of the
coherence, unity and continuity of the sense
of self. Depersonalisation is a particular type
of dissociation involving a disrupted
integration of self-perceptions with the sense
of self, so that individuals experiencing
depersonalisation are in a subjective state of
feeling estranged, detached or disconnected
from their own being.

Depersonalization disorder - Causes
People who live in highly
individualistic cultures may be more
vulnerable to depersonalization, due
to threat hypersensitivity and an
external locus of control.
1
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-personalization-toolkit.html
Depersonalization disorder - Causes
One cognitive behavioral
conceptualization is that misinterpreting
normally transient dissociative symptoms
as an indication of severe mental illness or
neurological impairment leads to the
development of the chronic disorder. This
leads to a vicious cycle of heightened
anxiety and symptoms of
depersonalization and derealization.

Depersonalization disorder - Causes
Depersonalization disorder may be
associated with dysregulation of the
hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the
area of the brain involved in the fight-orflight response. Patients demonstrate
abnormal cortisol levels and basal activity.
Studies found that patients with DPD could
be distinguished from patients with clinical
depression and posttraumatic stress
disorder.

etc., that directly affect brain tissue.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-personalization-toolkit.html
Depersonalization disorder - Causes
It has been thought that
depersonalization has been caused by
a biological response to dangerous or
life-threatening situations which
causes heightened senses and
emotional neutrality. If this response is
applied in real life, non-threatening
situations, the result can be shocking
to the individual.

Depersonalization disorder - History

clinical term by Ludovic Dugas in 1898 to
refer to a state in which there is the feeling

Social alienation|alienation of personality –

Pierre Janet approached the theory by
pointing out his patients with clear sensory

A website knowing a user's location, and
