Sybil for the 21st Century?
From Father Hollywood
Nearly fifty years ago, the popular culture was introduced to a rare and horrific mental illness that was, at the time, called Multiple Personality Disorder. The 1976 movie Sybil was apparently based on a true story of a young woman academician who suffered from this ailment, today called Disassociative Identity Disorder. She had sixteen distinct personalities, and could not live an ordinary life until she was treated.
