Here in the peace and solitude of the mountain peaks, here where meditation leads me into a state of inner balance as I climb, I too am overcome with feelings of self-understanding, of belonging to the world, and of being alone with the cosmos.— Reinhold Messner, 1980

SUMMARY. The relationship between dissociation and psychosis is not a topic of serious study and research in the psychosis field, though it has received attention in the dissociation literature.
