Abstract
Four cases of prolonged depersonalization that occurred months after marihuana use were described. Each occurred in the setting of a stressful life event. Depersonalization is a common experience during acute intoxication with marihuana, and these cases suggest that after the patients had experienced depersonalization, external stressors and intrapsychic factors may have contributed to its continued use as a defense mechanism.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
