A journalistic, yet highly personal examination of depersonalization as a disorder, and a cultural phenomenon, including case histories, treatment, and literary and spiritual perspectives. Written by the co-author of the groundbreaking "Feeling Unreal: Depersonalization Disorder and the Loss of the Self" (Oxford University Press, 2006), "Stranger to My Self" explores all aspects of depersonalization in language that makes this complex syndrome more comprehensible to the lay audience.
