In the end, it is clear that there is little evidence as to what definitely enables sufferers of depersonalisation to remove their automatic defence mechanisms. The book focuses on how symptoms can be relieved and managed rather cured - which is commonplace among mental health phenomena. I would have greatly preferred it if past sufferers that were able to overcome Depersonalisation wrote large parts of this book, since then it would provide more hope to readers that change is achievable. Overall, it seems like they have done the best with what information is available. Therefore the ratings is based more on the impact the book has had (which is negligible) with the advice and evidence that exists, rather than the authors work (which is fairly good and discusses the majority of relevant factors well). I have drug induced DP/DR and thought I would give this book a go as very few exist on the subject.

It's pretty incomplete but still worth reading, especially if your DP/DR is mild, occasional, if you were just recently diagnosed and need to know the basics or if you don't actually have it yourself but want to have basic knowledge of this rarely talked about condition.
