I just purchased Lucindas book "From Panic to Power". I love it !! There is lots of good information in there and very helpful. I have also purchased some books on positive thinking which I love.

I have two wonderful recomendations:
1. The movie "Numb" is amazing and those suffering from DP will more than likely relate, but also get a lot of answers too. It IS what the director/writers life has been like - he's suffered from DP.
2. There's a book the movie shows in one scene and the director talks about in his commentary called "Feeling Unreal: Depersonalization Disorder and the Loss of the Self " by Simeon and Abugel that has gotten rave reviews.

Please look into these two references and I believe you will find some peace.

What I've deduced from these sources is that people suffering from the disorder have a predisposition to it and the symptoms are triggered by stressors. Period. No meds have been found that work for everyone, no therapy techniques can cure it, but effective stress management should put an end to or at least decrease the severity of the symptoms associated with Depersonalizaion disorder.
I hope this helps

A book that really helped me with my panic attacks that may help you is "Don't Panic: Taking Control of Anxiety Attacks" by Reid Wilson. I hope it helps.

I have From Panic to Power, Lucinda's book as well. It is very good if you can't afford the program.

Hope and Help For Your Nerves by Dr. Claire Weeks is a book I have used extensively. The book addresses a lot of symptoms, how to manage them, and is an easy to understand book without being frightening. The doctor that wrote the book was from Australia. I think I read somewhere that she had suffered from anxiety/panic. I'm not sure if it is still in print, but it is available through Amazon.

I just finished "The worry cure" very good and to the point. It helped, I just finished this book and was reading it before I ordered the program.
