Talk:Depersonalization

From the article:
- The disorder has in the past been thought to be rare. However, within the last decade research has shown that as many as 2.5% of the population suffers from this dissociative disorder. Also, as many as 50% of college students have reported feelings related to this disorder. The majority of the population will experience this sometime in their lifetime but it only develops as a disorder in a select few. No one specific book has yet been dedicated to the topic of Depersonalization. However as of recently more knowledge and awareness of this family of disorders is coming to light. For example Marlene Steinberg and Maxine Schnall's The Stranger in the Mirror covers in depth research on; advice on how to work with; and people who have suffered from dissociative disorders.
Cites, please?
- You didn't even sign your post here and you're asking for cites? Depersonalization is a well known phenomenon. Do a Google search for specific information you need. What kind of "cites" do you require? The information you cut and pasted above lists the name of a book and author. You're being unclear on what you need, why you need it, and even what your user name is. Moncrief 17:22, Apr 16, 2004 (UTC)
'Killology' is hard to accept in the form of a "known science" per se or whatever, when it's a word that come from just one friggin' book.
As a result, I altered this article to, rather than saying 'Killology suggests' which seems like som vast branch of science suggests it (and which I feel violated NPOV), to refer to the book itself.
If 'killology' is a viable and acceptable field of study despite it's hokey name, it's up to that article to verify it -- and not to gain some sort of en passe support by being mentioned in a way that gives the impression that it's a known and accepted thing. Dodger 05:52, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
