In psychology, ''emotional detachment'' can mean two different things. In the first [[meaning]], it refers to an "inability to [[connect]]" with others emotionally, as well as a means of dealing with [[anxiety]] by preventing certain situations that trigger it; it is often [[described]] as "emotional numbing" or dissociation, depersonalization or in its chronic form depersonalization disorder. In the second sense, it is a type of "mental assertiveness" that allows people to maintain their [[boundaries]] and psychic [[integrity]] when faced with the [[emotional]] demands of another person or group of [[persons]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_detachment]
