This is a repeat of the information I edited in the ANNOUNCEMENT SECTION of the General Support area.
PLEASE DO NOT PUBLISH THESE RESULTS ON ANY PERSONAL SITE, OTHER DP/DR WEB SITES, OR IN ANY FORM. THIS WILL VIOLATE COPYRIGHT PROTECTION LAWS AND THE JOURNAL'S PUBLISHERS, NOT THE AUTHORS, WILL PURSUE ACTION. THIS IS FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE, AS MANY OF YOU TOOK PART IN THE STUDY. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO TAKE THE INFORMATION DOWN.
First. this post is regarding the single publication that was accepted in Psychiatry Research , and secondly a portion of the results of the submission of our 25 page manuscript to the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.
PAPER 1:
Daphne Simeon, David Stephen Kozin, Karina Segal, Brenna Lerch, Roxanne Dujour and Timo Giesbrecht, "De-constructing depersonalization: Further evidence for symptom clusters", Psychiatry Research, Volume 157, Issues 1-3, 15 January 2008, Pages 303-306
To save you money from ordering it online, although I do believe the published has offered this as a freebie because it is the first volume of this series, you can access the article here (Do note that this web site is acknowledged in the end section). This article can also be obtained at any medical library:
As we longer hold the copyright to this article, please use it for your personal use and do not distribute it.
Essentially, we argue that DP and DR are clinically vague terms in the current diagnostic books (DSM-IV-TR and other texts), and that our research supports the theory that there are different "symptoms group" that fall into rather clear categories. See the results of:
Sierra, M., Berrios, G.E., 2000. The Cambridge Depersonalisation
Scale: a new instrument for the measurement of depersonalisation.
Psychiatry Research 93, 163?164.
Sierra, M., Baker, D., Medford, N., David, A.S., 2005. Unpacking the
depersonalization syndrome: an exploratory factor analysis on the
Cambridge Depersonalization Scale. Psychological Medicine 35,
1523?1532.
This is not an exciting, and does include a significant amount of statistics, but the conclusion is easily understood by the layperson. For the next publication I am going to discuss, these new definitions for DP and DR were not considered, although they are reviewed in the paper. Consequently, there are some limitations because of the vague definition in the DSM-IV-TR. I should note that the committee for the DSM-V has reported that it will be published in 2012.
THE TEXT OF THE ARTICLE WAS REMOVED (5/10/2008) for legal reasons.
Best wishes,
David Stephen Kozin
