Title: Sybil--a work of fiction
Product review: Although most of the reviews here praise this book, it has been largely discredited as essentially a piece of fiction. Our cultural preoccupation with "multiple personality disorders," "recovered memories of childhood abuse," and "Satanic cult abuse of children" is analogous to the Salem witch trails. A reader who wishes to see a clear and compelling refutation of this nonsense should read Dr. Paul McHugh's study "Try to Remember: Psychiatry's Clash Over Meaning, Memory, and Mind." McHugh is a psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins. The reason this is important: many lives have been wrecked as a result of false claims of childhood abuse.
