Abstract
The author presents a survey of the literature, together with a study of the phenomena of déjà vu and depersonalization in a largely healthy population. He concludes that the déjà vu experience as elicited by a clinical type interview is common particularly in intelligent subjects of higher socioeconomic status. Well defined depersonalization experiences will also be elicited by clinical enquiry from subjects free from major psychiatric disability.
