cara_selene 's review for:
Sybil
by Flora Rheta Schreiber
Despite the fact that I read this at a far too young - and too impressionable age - this book became one of my all-time favorites. It is a tough read, definitely not for the faint of heart, in particular the sections on Sybil's childhood. (These scenes depicting her abuse are truly horrific, unlike any others I have ever heard. They are agonizing to read, but they are also necessary in understanding just why Sybil's mind splintered the way it did.) This book is what made me become so interested in psychology. It was my first introduction into the human mind, and I became particularly fascinated with dissociative identity disorder.
I can't go into much more detail than that, it was years ago that I read this and can't remember the details. I hope reread it sometime soon, maybe then my rating will change.
