		The depersonalization and dissociation research program is dedicated to studying the phenomenology, etiology and treatment of dissociative disorders, primarily depersonalization disorder.
		We are collecting data in an ongoing way about the different phenomenological aspects of the syndrome of depersonalization, including variations in symptomatology, types of onset, factors alleviating and exacerbating the symptoms, co-morbid disorders and course of treatments.
		In particular, depersonalization subjects can manifest significant impairments in certain types of attention and memory, while retaining an overall intact level of intellectual functioning.

		Typically, depersonalization is a state in which an individual experiences a "split" in consciousness between a "participating self" and an "observing self." The participating self is composed of body, thoughts, feelings, memories, and emotions.
		There are also secondary characteristics of depersonalization, which may include: feelings of dizziness, floating, or giddinesss, a feeling of the participating self being "dead," a loss of affective responsiveness, and a feeling of calm detachment (Levy and Wachtel 1978).
		Depersonalization, an experience in which the perception of the self is altered, is sometimes accompanied by derealization, an experience in which perception of one's environment is altered.
