The occurrence of depersonalization phenomena has been studied in three groups of patients:

(a) Manic depressives with normal personality.

(b) Depression and insecure personality.

(c) Insecure personality.

There appears to be a high incidence of depersonalization in those cases showing a combination of depression and insecure personality.

The findings are discussed briefly in relation to some of the recent viewpoints.
