Great in theory but fails in practice...

True in several areas, but also an overstatement. There are literally hundreds of psychotherapy techniques and CBT is one the few that has proven to be useful for least some problems. But except for maybe a minority, I doubt that it's the silver bullet against depersonalization disorder.

Sometimes I asked myself, if doctors who specialized on one problem really read in the discussion groups of patients. I cannot answer this question, but from my years of experience in reading several patient forums I know that they rarely post there.

EDIT!!!
As regards Depersonalization Disorder
You cant talk your way out of DP and you certainly cant put CBT into practise with it because it wreaks havoc with cognitive abilities in the first place and secondly because the thinking patterns that go along with chronic DP are too obsessive to break down...Grounding techniques, Automatic Negative Thought Assessment etc etc etc does nothing to break DPs incessant grip of constant terror....
If your lucky enough to have lots of money and apply CBT regularly in a stress free environment maybe it might work...But for most of us who have to work regularly or have children and wives and bills to pay this simply isnt practical....
How many of us on here have tried to hold up a job amongst other everyday responsibilities whilst sick with chronic DP....Its not possible....Try throw CBT practices in on top of all that 50 times a day???? See where im going with this????

Most specialists are the same, & tend to fall into the same faulty reasoning, i.e.
I specialize in X,
& my patients suffer with Y,
therefore X must be the only cure for Y.
Throw in an unhealthy dose of confirmation bias, & hey presto.

What I meant was this:
I specialize in Psychotherapy,
my patients suffer from Depersonalization,
therefore Psychotherapy is the only cure for Depersonalization.
It's the same with other specialists too;
I specialize in Psychiatry,
my patients suffer from Depersonalization,
therefore medication is the only cure for Depersonalization.
I specialize in Homeopathy,
my patients suffer from Depersonalization,
therefore herbal remedies are the only cure for Depersonalization.
It's the nature of the false reasoning I was drawing attention to (many people who post recovery stories on here fall foul of similar erroneous thinking as well).
Mainly so ya keep going back......
To line their pockets

Yeh I was just illustrating how an individual's biases can affect their diagnosis as well as their treatment. Some genuinely do have a god complex. They think they must have the answer because they had so much training. When sometimes they simply don't. And then they wamt to be the hero (although financial reasons most probably influence this as well).
So they are convinced their specific training is the answer to this and they can save the victim (whilst being rewarded rather handsomely financially). People truly beleve involving money doesn't influence the practitioners decisions and biases. Human beings are not objective in nature. You may not consciously think the money affects you, but you unconsciously know that money is important and self preservation is the primary objective
So I am sure many are convinced they are good people helping others. But if they were truly honest and reflected on their experience/abilities, they are clueless. 'I don't know' would be their honest answer about DPD. Except they're not aloud to say that now are they. 'I don't know' should probably be the first chapter in any medical textbook lol
Therapist once told me....
"I spent alot of time training for this so Im entitled to charge 100 euros an hour for therapy sessions" .....This person worked in a suicide prevention place....Scarey!!!
Another therpaist in the same place told me she was......"Empowering me to get better" .........Even scarier LOL

I have nothing against therapists charging people for their services.....But it becomes legalized extortion when they actually know deep down they cannot help you but keep you coming back again and again.....
Just proves how many of them are chancers and fraudsters only in it for the money....
Integrity my ass!!!
