Sybil: The Classic True Story of a Woman Possessed by Sixteen Personalities by Flora Rheta Schreiber

3.0

---

A very interesting story, especially since it's such a controversial one. My mother was horrified that I was spending my Christmas break reading this. All she could think of was the movie starring Sally Field and the horrific child abuse scenes. I stayed up til 5am Christmas Eve (well, Christmas morning) finishing this book. If you've seen the movie, you definitely need to read the book. My only problem with the book is that Sybil's healing process was vague.
