“Sybil” passed away in 1998. Whatever her “diagnosis” it appears according to Wikipedia that she had a lot of problems and pain in her life. I don’t see what good it does now trying to dispute what her actual issues may have been.
Dissociation is real. In my case, lots and lots of therapists who did not see or understand or know how to respond to my DDNOS resulted in years and years of ineffective and iatrogenic therapy. And how could I possibly provide the information about the separateness of my “parts” myself? My rational self knew about them – sort of – but since it was normal for me how could I know it wasn’t the way everybody was?
So I wonder -- maybe parts of "Sybil" felt she was lying and parts of her didn't? That seems like a real possibility to me though it might not to the "normals".
