N2 - Objective: To perform the translation and cultural adaptation of the Cambridge Depersonalization Scale (CDS) to Brazilian Portuguese. Methods: The scale translation was performed in two versions, followed by back translation by a native English speaker. Scale items were compared and adapted to the Brazilian context, and then transformed into a test version, applied to 30 participants without diagnosis of psychiatric disorders. Results: The Portuguese version of the CDS showed good comprehensibility. Most participants reported depersonalization transient experiences over the last six months (53.3% of the cases), including feeling of being an outside observer of the self (35%) and feeling of being outside the body (10%). Conclusions: The current study confirms the high frequency of depersonalization experiences. Further studies are needed to verify the psychometric properties of the scale.
