Workshop: Depersonalisation and derealisation from a transdiagnostic perspective

It addresses the conceptualisation of depersonalisation and derealisation in the context of other dissociative and clinical phenomena, presents aetiological and disorder models derived from the current scientific literature, and introduces specific therapeutic techniques and tools for working with depersonalisation and derealisation.
