Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sybil is a 1973 book by Flora Rheta Schreiber about the treatment of Sybil Dorsett (a pseudonym for Shirley Ardell Mason) for dissociative identity disorder (then referred to as multiple personality disorder) by her psychoanalyst, Cornelia B. Wilbur. The book was made into two movies of the same name, once in 1976 and again as a television movie in 2007. The book had an initial print run of 400,000. The book is believed by Mark Pendergrast to have established the template for the later upsurge in the diagnoses of dissociative identity disorders. Later examination of audiotapes that recorded conversations between Schreiber and Wilbur, conducted by John Jay College of Criminal Justice academic Robert W. Reiber, was taken to indicate that the case was largely fraudulent. As a result it is no longer recommended that it be taught as a 'classic example' of Multiple Personality Disorder.
