  Amazon.com: Sybil: Books: Flora Rheta Schreiber   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Rape and inexplicable, unnecessary forced enemas were a daily ritual until the age of six or seven--the angry, frightened Peggy Lou had to emerge to endure the unending agony.
Schreiber paints a vivid portrait of Sybil's family and the conservative town in which she grew up, and while we discover a clear history of schizophrenia on the maternal side of Sybil's family, Schreiber places most of the blame at the feet of Sybil's father Willard.
Although Schreiber switches from Sybil's childhood to adulthood frequently in the novel, she still manages to capture the reader's attention and also, she lets the reader to...

Schreiber takes the reader on a journey through time from Sybil’s childhood and the abuse she endured, to the beginning of the painstakingly long treatment with Dr. Cornelia B. Wilbur, to the moment of the integration of Sybil’s sixteen diverse personalities.
Flora Rheta Schrieber, who wrote the novel, does a wonderful job portraying the joy and pain Sybil faces on her journey to recovery.
Schreiber tells the story of the recovery of this woman and the journey she has to go through in order to fully heal and become the one person she has always wanted to be.

 Sybil-The Making of a Disease: An Interview with Dr. Herbert Spiegel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Schreiber was deluged with letters from women thanking her for helping them understand that they were "multiples,"7 and it was not long before pioneering psychiatrists like Ralph B. Allison, George Greaves, and Eugene Bliss started finding cases of multiple personality among their patients.
Flora Rheta Schreiber subsequently wrote a second best-selling book, this time on the Philadelphia cobbler Joseph Kallinger, a serial killer whose crime spree she claimed was the result of child abuse.11 She was unsuccessfully sued by the families of Kallinger's victims12 and died shortly thereafter.

 Satanism, SRA, FMS, and Doubt Cast on Story of `Sybil'
One excerpt in his report quotes Wilbur telling Schreiber, "And I said, `Well, there's a personality who calls herself Peggy.' And uh, I said, `She is pretty assertive.
The tapes also show Schreiber improperly dismissing a letter Sybil wrote to Wilbur in which she denies having multiple personalities, Rieber said.
Rieber's conclusions fall in line with previously published opinions by Dr. Herbert Spiegel, a New York psychiatrist who used Sybil in hypnotism research and says he was her surrogate therapist when Wilbur was out of town.

 Ace Weekly
For TV enthusiasts in the seventies, Sybil was Sally Field, who won an Emmy Award for her performance in the title role of the film based on journalist Flora Rheta Schreiber's ubiquitous 1973 bestseller, Sybil.
Sybil Isabel Dorsett is a pseudonym created by author Flora Schreiber to protect the identity of Shirley Ardell Mason, Human Being and Successful Artist.
From about the time the nation was busy being swept by Sybil Dorsett's bizarre story to the time of her death in February, 1998 at age 75, Shirley Ardell Mason lived in Lexington, enjoying what were probably the only quiet and peaceful years of her life.

 Sybil
At this time we have not yet written a review for Sybil by Flora Rheta Schreiber (ISBN 0446359408).
In the realm of non-fiction, however, I'd turn elsewhere, because studies of Mason's case have made a strong argument that the case was a fraud.
After the death of Mason's psychiatrist (Cornelia Wilbur), a psychologist (Dr. Robert Reiber) discovered from taped conversations held between Wilbur and Schreiber, author of the book, that Mason's multiple personality disorder (now called dissociative identity disorder in the DSM-IV text), emerged only after her therapy began.

It still had the power to move me. Ms Schreiber tells a truly thought provoking page turner.

 Schizophrenic
The royalties from "Sybil" were split three ways, between Sybil, Schreiber, and Wilbur.
First of all, a psychiatrist who worked with the real Sybil, wrote a book questioning the idea that she had multiple personalities.
Now a psychologist, after listening to the tapes of the sessions Dr. Flora Schreiber had with Sybil, has concluded that the "multiple personalities" were actually constructions by the psychiatrist to help Sybil explain why her behaviours seemed so strange to herself.

Sybil (actually a pseudonym) is the subject and heroine of Flora Rheta Schreiber's biographical book, "Sybil." It is the ultimately hopeful account of a woman inflicted with a rare mental illness: Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD).
Schreiber's writing style is both simple and truthful.
In what must have been an extremely difficult situation with overwhelming odds, Sybil proves to the world in Schreiber's book that the power of human endurance and heart is limitless, as Sybil makes her joyful, triumphant journey to wholeness and reconciliation.
