A lecture by the author of "Sybil Exposed". The book she has written is deeply researched and she has a firm understanding of current psychological perspectives on the issues relating to what was once known as repressed memories and multiple personality disorder.
The book "Sybil" sold 7 million copies and the movie was seen by a fifth of the adult population in 1976. The publisher and movie sponsors called it a "true story" and the story had a huge impact on the culture of the United States. Multiple Personality Disorder, had less than 36 cases previously diagnosed over 100 years suddenly the diagnosis jumped to tens of thousands per year into the 1980's and 1990's. Tens of thousands suddenly poured into therapist offices with the suggestions and assumptions of the movie content. Many therapists were trained by the author of the book to use techniques that nurtured pseudo memories.
In the next 20 years thousands of innocents were jailed, tens of thousands of families destroyed, livelihoods lost all due to the impact of this story. The book and movie continues to feed a national hysteria even today that continues to claim widespread child abuse, repressed memories and disociative identity disorder even as the scientifically validated evidence overwhelmingly fails to support any of the claims made by "repressed memory" and "'multiple personality" believers.
The end of the video has a question and answer segment that is of interest. She wonders aloud why the relationship between Shirley Mason and Dr. Wilbur developed and was so close. She mentions that Dr. Wilbur had no children and no family close to her and that she may have wanted a family. The client Shirley Mason became like a daughter for whom she could care. The process of demonizing Shirley's mother actually strengthened the therapist and friend as a type of surrogate mother and so met the personal need of an aging and lonely therapist. to be wanted The idea that the therapist may have personal problems, is lonely and without family became a motivation for nurturing false memories in her client and friend.

*** WARNING ***
If you are seeking help for personal struggles and a therapist, counselor or friend says that "recovering childhood memories can help you get better" then IMMEDIATELY get up from your chair (or off the couch), run to the door, open it and flee. Hundreds of thousands have lost families, years of productive living and squandered immense wealth with tragedy inducing therapy that produces horrid false memories, splinters families, isolates the client and is documented to cause decline in mental health.
