Depersonalization

Japanese: 離人症 - りじんしょう(英語表記)depersonalization
Depersonalization

This psychopathological term was first coined by the Frenchman L. Dugas in 1898. It is a sense of loss of vital emotion, but is usually divided into three categories: a sense of unreality, in which the outside world surrounding oneself does not feel real; a sense of emptiness, in which one does not feel certain of one's own existence; and a sense of non-belonging, in which one does not feel that one's body belongs to oneself.

In the 20th century, these three different senses of loss were much discussed from the perspective of abnormal psychology, but gradually attention began to be turned to the overall psychopathology underlying these different abnormal psychology, and attention began to be paid not only to neuroses but also to depersonalization symptoms in the early stages of depression and schizophrenia.

Japanese:

1898年フランスのデュガL. Dugasによって初めて唱えられた精神病理学用語。それは生命的感情の喪失感であるが、通常「自分を取り巻く外界が現実のものと感じられない」という非現実感、「自分自身の存在の確かさが感じられない」という空虚感、「自分の体が自分のものだと感じられない」という非自己所属感の三つに分けられる。

 20世紀に入り、これら対象を異にする三つの喪失感について異常心理学の立場から多くの論議がなされたが、しだいに、このような異なる異常心理の背後に存する全体的精神病理に目が向けられるようになり、神経症のみならず、うつ病や統合失調症(精神分裂病)初期における離人症症状にも注目されるようになった。
