Closing the gap between recognition and interpellation is an important perspective to add to our armamentarium in considering depersonalization and its relief. The perspective of interpellation can help us understand how society contributes to devastating emotional experience that likely evokes dissociative process to become persistently overactive. I suspect that societal interpellation maintains depersonalization more than it causes it, that family dynamics are hidden in societal discourse, and that a clinician who draws out this perspective, as appropriate, gains credibility and provides relief in the provision of safety essential for the dissociative mind to change its modus operandi and be less isolated from self and other.
