    Este estudio exploró la relación entre interpretaciones catastróficas, evitación experiencial y los diferentes subtipos de despersonalización (DP) en 70 participantes de la comunidad y 70 pacientes con trastornos de ansiedad. Los pacientes completaron instrumentos que medían interpretaciones catastróficas, evitación experiencial y DP. Las interpretaciones catastróficas predijeron la intensidad global de la DP y los subtipos experiencias corporales anómalas, experiencias anómalas del recordar, y desrealización. Contrariamente, la evitación experiencial no apareció como un predictor de DP. Los resultados son discutidos a la luz de los últimos avances en la conceptualización de la DP.

On the opposite, experiential avoidance was not a predictor of DP. Results are commented in light of the progress in the conceptualization of DP.
