A controversial cult classic, Sybil by Flora Rheta Schreiber is the extraordinary story of a woman who suffered from multiple personality disorder.''How are you today?'' the doctor asked. ''I''m fine'', was the reply. ''But Sybil isn''t. She was so sick she couldn''t come. So I came instead.''A collaboration between journalist Flora Rheta Schreiber and Sybil''s psychiatrist, Dr. Cornelia Wilbur, Sybil is the story of a woman with sixteen separate personalities, and was instrumental in influencing the definition and diagnosis of multiple personality disorder. Sybil''s diagnosis has since been called into question - but, forty years after it was first published, her story remains a gripping and disturbing account of one woman''s struggle for mental stability and happiness.
