About the Author: Flora Rheta Schreiber was the psychiatry editor of Science Digest when she first heard about Sybil. Author interviews, book reviews and lively book commentary are found here. You'll experience the strangeness and fascination of one woman's rare affliction-and travel with her on her long, ultimately triumphant journey back to wholeness. ![]() ![]() You're about to meet Sybil-and the sixteen selves to whom she played host, both women and men, each with a different personality, speech pattern, and even personal appearance. It's the story of a survivor of terrifying childhood abuse, victim of sudden and mystifying blackouts, and the first case of multiple personality ever to be psychoanalyzed. What was once a four-star review of this book has now dropped to a two directly from that experience. As an Emmy Award-winning film starring Sally Field, it captured the home screens of an entire nation and has endured as the most electrifying TV movie ever made. Last summer, I met the man who wrote the Screenplay for Sybil, and it changed the lens of how I see and appreciate the book completely. More amazing than any work of fiction, yet true in every word, it swept to the top of the bestseller lists and riveted the consciousness of the world. ![]()
