This book is generally understood to be a true account of a woman who suffered multiple personality disorder. It has recently been exposed as completely untrue. The woman represented as Sybil has stated that she was not aware that Schreiber was writing this book or that Schreiber had made up all this about her. I have to wonder now how much of what Schreiber wrote was true. I will allow that even if not true, her work still would make fascinating fiction.
