Because dissociative experiences are often illusive and hard to describe, they are rarely reported to therapists. There is a strong possibility that you or someone you know suffers from some dissociative condition. Since dissociation can be a person 's standard response to trauma, its symptoms are a common reaction to such life-threatening events as a car accident or such intense, lasting traumas as rape. This hidden epidemic has occurred simply because people have been unable to identify their problem, or were not asked the right questions about their symptoms. The surprising truth revealed in The Stranger in the Mirror, a groundbreaking book based on eighteen years of pioneering research, is that millions of people have dissociative symptoms that have gone undetected or untreated. These are all symptoms of dissociation-a fragmented state of consciousness involving feelings of disconnection and amnesia that affects 30 million individuals in North America alone. You feel as if you're going through the motions of life.
You can't remember if you actually did something or only thought you did. You peer into the mirror and have trouble recognizing yourself.
