Talk:Depersonalization

message: Totally unrelated, why isn't this merged with Depersonalization disorder.  That's a great article and this is start-class.  Is this one that much different, or headed in a different direction (or is the diagnostic classification of the other exclusive enough that less clinical aspects cannot be included there).

replies: text: I don't know enough about either to say, but it looks like one is about a symptom, the other a full disorder.  That leans to two separate pages in my mind, provided the symptom has enough sources about it that the page can be expanded.  WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 16:46, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the symptoms are also a part of different disorders and illnesses. So the disorder and the mere symptoms are not the same. 92.225.145.141 (talk) 19:24, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge? 

message: Some of the descriptions are rather like the description of derealization. This may be because in literature these are often treated as connected, or even the same. Still, when I'm not me, the world usually still stays real, there are two arms right next to me, just that these are not mine, although I can control them. 92.225.145.141 (talk) 19:24, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mixed with Derealization? 

message: Isn't the stuff about how military training makes it easier for the soldiers to kill people about how it makes them not think of their targets as persons, instead about how they perceive themselves? --TiagoTiago (talk) 07:56, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Isn't the military training thing somthing else? 

message: This article is about a psychological disorder, of how to view yourself, but depersonalization have a much more important meaning, that stop seeing someone else, an alien group you are not a member of, and that you hate, as persons. It is an important an necessary step towards genocide, so frankly I find that phenomenon to be way more important then some rare psychological disorder.
: I have never seen the term 'depersonalization' used in this way - you may be thinking of 'dehumanization'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C0:CB02:5320:5D66:FDEB:DE85:72B1 (talk) 06:14, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  'proper' psychotherapy? 

message: I find objectification to be a lousy synonym for one of the common senses of "depersonalization" as found in the professions of health care, policing, border control, armed combat, and armchair politics where the individuality of the patients,  perpetrators, or politicians often needs to be set aside as a basic human coping mechanism.  
Surgeons definitely "objectify" patients as they focus in on the surgical field, but this is far from objectifying the person as a whole, to the degree that I find the word "objectification" irritating and unproductive; in the prison system, it might be full-on objectification (while two wrongs don't make a right, a state-sanctioned crime against a criminal elicits a sweet, easy feeling in the likes of Joe Arpaio).  
I really wish this page was titled Depersonalization (psychology) so that objectification could be positioned as an extreme end of a common scale, but I just don't see how that could work, as the accepted language ball lies. — MaxEnt 21:42, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Depersonalization 

message: Some VR users have reported feelings of depersonalization after stopping use of VR headsets, such as their hands feeling unreal, or LCD screens/displays being linked to various visual illusions, possibly related to depth perception.
Perhaps this should be added in the future (I say in the future because I didn't find any sources other than Reddit posts, and I don't know if they're as good as articles on news websites).
Inspired by this comment.
