The author reports two cases in which depersonalization occurred during the waking consciousness of individuals who had engaged in meditative techniques designed to alter consciousness. Psychiatrists should be aware of this phenomenon, as the number organizations in the "consciousness movement" is increasing, and should ask people manifesting depersonalization about any involvement in activities leading to altered states of consciousness. In some cases it might be appropriate to refer such patients to responsible groups that teach altered consciousness by meditation as an egosyntonic desirable state. The author cautions against the use of phenothiazines in cases where depersonalization is a prominent feature.
作者报告了两例在练习旨在改变意识的冥想技巧的个体清醒意识期间出现人格解体的案例。精神科医生应意识到这一现象，因为“意识运动”中的组织数量在增加，并且应该询问出现人格解体的人是否参与了导致意识改变状态的活动。在某些情况下，将此类患者转介给通过冥想教授意识改变作为一种自我和谐的理想状态的责任组织可能是合适的。作者告诫在人格解体是突出特征的情况下不要使用吩噻嗪类药物。
