Summary

The true story of the three women behind Sybil, the famous multiple-personality caseSybil. The 1973 nonfiction blockbuster and the TV movie based on it became both a pop phenomenon and a revolutionary force in the psychotherapy industry. The book rocketed multiple personality disorder into public consciousness. Nathan presents proof that the allegedly true story was largely fabricated. What really powered the legend was a trio of women: the willing patient, her ambitious shrink, and the imaginative journalist who spun their story into bestseller gold
