Just kidding. There is only me. I am glad this book was written. I too swallowed the Sybil story when it first came out. Then again, I believed A Million Little Pieces was true as well. In a world where lives have been ruined by accusations of ritual sexual abuse of workers at a daycare center based on false memories, we need somebody keeping the mental health profession honest.
I am a Masters level Licensed Mental Health practitioner with 30 years of experience. In my early career, I attended numerous workshops and presentations focused on MPD, DID and so-called ritual abuse complete with lovingly rendered and explicitly gory details. I sat through impassioned speeches about the unfailing accuracy of recovered memories and the incapacity of children (who often live as though their and caregivers’ fictions are fact)to tell anything but the absolute truth. I even believed it for a time. And that’s the rub. Facts don’t require belief. We don’t have a scientific, objective, factual and observable measurement for personality, singular. Let alone multiple. Let’s stop giving people more problems than they have.
There may be spoilers here...***Sybil (the original) was one of the most influential books of my young adulthood. It made me consider psychiatry or counseling as a career. Later, as books like "The Courage to Heal" and others came out, and controversy over false memories ensued, I felt that at least "Sybil" was the truth. Even when debate arose after her death, indicating that the multiple personalities were a fabrication, I still believed that the horrific childhood abuse had taken place. Given that, it was no wonder that Shirley Mason dissociated, even if the 16 personalities were a ploy to remain in therapy.But there was so much more than that, and it's horrifying to learn that Mason's main problems were actually induced by her psychiatrist, who was determined to be honored for some historic breakthrough. If Debbie Nathan's account is to be believed, Cornelia Wilbur was the abuser, not Mason's mother. A co-conspirator, albeit a regretful one, was Flora Schreiber, who wrote the original book. Schreiber, like Wilbur, wanted fame, and to be part of something historic. She realized that Wilbur was a problematic personality, but ignored her own misgivings while the book was being written and published.I still pity Shirley Mason as an abuse victim. but now for very different reasons. The only concern I have is that somewhere down the line I will learn that this account was fabricated as well. Once you experience this type of betrayal, even at a reader's distancce, it's hard to be credulous again. That's probably not a bad thing.
As a former Psychiatric research nurse, I've studied historical cases of abuse in research but am truly shocked that this went on in the 60s and 70s without anyone questioning it.The story of Sybil has been around for decades and the validity of the story went unchallenged until all of those involved were dead. Aside from the travesties done to Shirley at the hands of Dr. Wilbur, I am appalled that it has taken this long to expose the fraud and abuse and that there were even people who helped keep this hidden to protect the legacy of Dr. C. Wilbur.
Rather startled by this book. Well researched. No opinion unsubstantiated. I read Sybil when it was first all the rage. Totally believed it all. Questions only now forthcoming.
Ms. Nathan confronts the Multiple Personality Disorder community, or as it is now known, the Disassociative Disorder Community, or DID community, by trying to unravel the strange and unique behavior of the personalities involved in the case of "Sybil", a well known DID whose case was celebrated as a breakthrough when it first came out, and then became the subject of questions.While reading this book, many things appeared to me to be uncertain. Many of the thoughts of those involved in Sybil's case were written as if verbatim, yet these thoughts do not have notes attached as to where they came from. Others have footnotes that indicate that they were taken "in context", but whose context were they taken in? I am sure that there is a lot of information of which I am not aware that would back Ms. Nathan up on some of this, but her discussion of homosexual behavior between some of the participants is, at best, a reach.While there might have been (all of the subjects are dead now, so we cannot ask), what reason is there to bring this up in a book that is written about what is purported to be a fraudulent agreement between people involved? It bears no purpose other than to bring a haze of mystery onto the scene, with a thin layer of innuendo that reeks, to me, of someone saying "If they had an affair, they must have made this stuff up".I believe that this book could have been made better with less fictional conversation (at least conversation and thoughts that seem fictional) and more facts. Ms. Nathan's subjects, many of whom were third and fourth hand (a friend, a cousin, someone who knew someone who knew Sybil, Dr. Wilbur or Ms. Schreiber) seemed to not lend a tone of veracity to the book, as the information seemed to be passed from person to person rather than heard first hand.I understand that the relationship between the three was strained and, in some ways, very codependent, but at the same time, I also feel it could have been handled differently. This, of course, is just my opinion.
Great read! Very insightful, total page turner!
The author makes a number of valid points about this case and the analysis of Sybil. However she has her own bias against the Dissociative Identity disorder and it shows. Her concerns and conclusions about the Sybil case should not be generalized to the disorder as a whole.
