Sybil by Flora Rheta Schreiber
5.0
challenging informative inspiring slow-paced

I loved the book and it gave me a lot of insights into dissociative identity disorders.
I was part of Sybil. But at the moment the doctor left us, I was no longer part of her. As that white coat moved through that door, we were no longer one. I became myself.

Through hypnotic age progression, Dr. Wilbur had metamorphosed what had been fixations in the past into viable parts of the present.

Memories make a person mature emotionally.

It can be postulated that the hysterical environment spawns a hysteric; the hysteric then becomes a multiple personality in order to assume identities that make it possible to escape from the restrictive standards of an oppressive milieu.

Not impossibly many persons who suffer from amnesia are in reality multiple personalities.
