De-constructing depersonalization: further evidence for symptom clusters.

Psychiatry Res. 2008 Jan 15;157(1-3):303-6

In 394 affected adults, the Cambridge Depersonalization Scale yielded five factors (numbing, unreality of self, perceptual alterations, unreality of surroundings, and temporal disintegration), put forth as symptom criteria for a better diagnosis of depersonalization disorder.
