More amazing than any work of fiction, yet true in every word, it swept to the top of the bestseller lists and riveted the consciousness of the world. As an Emmy Award-winning film starring Sally Field, it captured the home screens of an entire nation and has endured as the most electrifying TV movie ever made. It's the story of a survivor of terrifying childhood abuse, victim of sudden and mystifying blackouts, and the first case of multiple personality ever to be psychoanalyzed.

You're about to meet Sybil-and the sixteen selves to whom she played host, both women and men, each with a different personality, speech pattern, and even personal appearance. You'll experience the strangeness and fascination of one woman's rare affliction-and travel with her on her long, ultimately triumphant journey back to wholeness.

I lived reading this book as a teen. In fact, I binged on all the multiple personality disorder (now a new term, but is what it was called at the time) books back then. My teen daughter started asking me about the disorder just the other day and I said, "Darling, do I have books for you!"

Excellent book. Re reading. Last read 30 plus years ago. Read 5X's at that time. Sally Field did the best she could (Outstanding!) considering so many things had to be cut out bc of fear of shock for the audience.
Sadly since that time have learned SRA Victims are numbering in the Millions due to MKULTRA & Monarch, and other, secret experiments on very young children and adults (usually military) throughout the world. Truly, truly, sad what our children have had to endure thru the millennia.

Babylon never died. It just went underground (quite literally in Many cases!).

And the Great Awakening has only just begun! Ready your hearts

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I have read so far
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2012

This book is a very heart felt book. It describes a lady name Sybil, that battled with multiple personalities. She was abused by her mother that had schizophrenia, and a father that was never there to witness it. Sybil had to deal with 16 different personalities and a past that she could not let go of, because it was so bad.I really liked this book because it showed me how sick are world can be. It showed me that some kids are not as fortunate as others are in the world.I really recommend that people read this book and watch the movie,the movie was just as good as the book was. You got to actually see how Sybil suffered from her disorder,and how her mother abused her. it gives vague details like the book but the book gives just a little bit more information. I really think that people should read this book so that they get the emotional and heart warming feelings i got.

It tells the story of Sybil Dorsett, a real woman who had 16 distinct personalities. Some of them were female, some were male, all were of varying ages younger than herself (as reported by those personalities). It’s fascinating. The author tells Sybil’s story with the flourish of a finely-polished fiction writer, while describing Sybil’s almost unbelievable sickness clinically and in detail.

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2011

It is an incredible, unbelievable life story. Just thinking of what that poor woman endured in her young life, makes one wonder...what on earth?!!!...where was her mother? Unfortunately, her mother was the one abusing her. Sad! Disgusting!!

Her little mind split into multiple personalities so as to be able to protect her from the trauma as it was happening. A daily ritual for her.

It is also fascinating how our brain works to try to help protect us either by fragmenting into multiple personalities, or other ways such as repressed memories, dissociation.

Unfortunately, this kind of extreme abuse is still happening, but to a greater degree. Now, there are services available to help and support those who have been, and those who are continuing to be, viciously traumatized.

Be warned this book is extremely explicate, not for children.

"Sybil" is an incredible and captivating book that tells the story of a woman with multiple personalities. Schreiber's writing style is gripping and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat throughout the book. You'll feel like you're right there with Sybil through every twist and turn of her incredible journey to healing and self-discovery. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a good true-life story of resilience and survival.
