Sybil confides that she frequently loses her memory and can't account for large blocks of time . . . and she slowly remembers the years of physical, emotional and sexual abuse inflicted by her mentally disturbed mother. During 11 years of sessions from 1954 through 1965, Sybil's 16 distinct personalities gradually emerge.
