"Everything feels unreal to me, like a dream...I feel detached, like a stranger to myself." These are quotes from actual people, experiencing something they don't understand. What they are saying is being heard by friends, families, and physicians today more than ever before. They do not simply suffer from anxiety, or depression, and they are not schizophrenic. They have found themselves trapped in a very real and singular disorder, yet few even know its name. Their enigmatic state of mind has been studied for more than 100 years, but only recently has it become clear how prevalent and how distinctive it really is. The condition is called Depersonalization Disorder, and Feeling Unreal is the first book to reveal what it's all about.This important volume explores not only Depersonalization, but the philosophical and literary implications of selflessness as well, while providing the latest research, possible treatments, and ways to live and thrive when life seems "unreal."

A POW story unlike any other. An incredible story of the triumphant human spirit, a spirit that emerges perhaps only in times of extraordinary testing. A few days after the Pearl Harbor tragedy Bill, at eighteen years old, enlisted in the Army Air Corps and began his training as an airplane mechanic-gunner that destined him to be a flight engineer on a B-24 Liberator Bomber. He flew 34 combat missions in those fiery skies over Europe before being shot down over the Ploesti oil refineries in Romania. Suddenly he found himself in a prisoner of war camp and experienced what it was like to be on the receiving end of falling and exploding bombs. Bill survived--unlike the 79,260 young American kids who did now survive those fiery European skies, with some falling from four miles high in the heavens when their bomber was blown apart.

READY TO FEEL LIKE YOUR NORMAL SELF AGAIN?Depersonalization & derealization are the third most common mental health symptoms next to anxiety & depression. Millions suffer from it, yet it is virtually unstudied in medicine. Why? There are a couple theories. Mostly I think it’s because it mimics the same symptoms of anxiety & depression, and often DP/DR accompanies anxiety & depression. They seem to all be interconnected in some way. Anxiety & depression get much more research put into them because they are way more frequently seen, but the problem is that DP/DR are both very, very hard to effectively describe to someone who has not experienced it.—From Stop UnrealityStop Unreality can help you to understand the inner-workings of depersonalization & derealization, along with battling against anxiety & depression.

More than one million people died in American asylums and institutions designed to care for people who had mental illness or developmental disabilities. To protect the privacy of patients or their families, many display no names. Patients were buried by number, in the final act of institutional depersonalization. Row upon row of numbered stones or cast iron markers are all that is left for the thousands and thousands of people buried in such cemeteries. This is a story of renewal and restoration of the dignity of the unnamed dead.

In our age of depersonalization, Frankl teaches the value of living to the fullest. Upon his death in 1997, Viktor E. Frankl was lauded as one of the most influential thinkers of our time. The Unheard Cry for Meaning marked his return to the humanism that made Man's Search for Meaning a bestseller around the world. In these selected essays, written between 1947 and 1977, Dr. Frankl illustrates the vital importance of the human dimension in psychotherapy. Using a wide range of subjects--including sex, morality, modern literature, competitive athletics, and philosophy--he raises a lone voice against the pseudo-humanism that has invaded popular psychology and psychoanalysis. By exploring mankind's remarkable qualities, he brilliantly celebrates each individual's unique potential, while preserving the invaluable traditions of both Freudian analysis and behaviorism.

In this collection of his essays and a sampling of his letters, John Jay Chapman (1862-1933) embraces the world at large. Predicting the depersonalization of twentieth-century society, Chapman argues that "a civilization based upon a commerce which is in all its parts corruptly managed will present a social life which is unintelligent and mediocre, made up of people afraid of each other, whose ideas are shopworn, whose manners are self-conscious".Chapman "should be studied more carefully and at full length", Edmund Wilson wrote in 1929, "but in the meantime, what is most important is to have his essays made accessible.... If his books were reprinted and read, we should recognize that we possess in John Jay Chapman -- by reason of the intensity of the spirit, the brilliance of the literary gift and the continuity of the thought which they embody -- an American classic".Jacques Barzun has observed, "We have produced very few great critics, but John Jay Chapman equals any of his foreign contemporaries". An American original, Chapman is a tonic to cynicism and an antidote to a society gone flaccid and complacent.

Over half of all physicians suffer from burnout, characterized by depersonalization, loss of enthusiasm for the profession, and cynicism. This devastating emotional disease adversely impacts physicians’ personal and professional lives, with potentially catastrophic consequences for the patients in their care. Physician Burnout: An Emotionally Malignant Disease proposes two effective and scientifically validated treatments for burnout in both physicians and other members of the health-care community: wellness and emotional intelligence. Using their experience working with and coaching physician groups, Reldan Nadler, PsyD, MCC; Zeina Ghossoub El-Aswad, PhD, CPEC, PCC, CWC; and Naim El-Aswad, MD, offer an in-depth look at physician burnout and how to treat it. They focus on six core concepts: Burnout as a malignant emotional disease The pendulum of burnout symptoms Emotional intelligence Optics and self-diagnosing burnout Professional/personal life balance Wellness and burnout prevention As awareness of physician burnout rises, the impact of this pervasive disease becomes increasingly clear. By utilizing the treatment modalities put forth in Physician Burnout: An Emotionally Malignant Disease, health-care facilities and individual physicians alike can get ahead of a disease that exerts a toll on physicians, patients, their families, and the community at large.
