  《人格裂变的姑娘》读后感(一):"The 16 Personalities of Sybil"

  The book and movie "Sybil" told the story of a woman purported to have Multiple Personality Syndrome.

  y Brian Dunning

  The 1976 TV movie Sybil starred Sally Field as a woman with Multiple Personality Syndrome. The movie, and the book upon which it was based, were fictionalized but were based upon a real person. The most significant impacts of Sybil were to bring the idea of Multiple Personality Syndrome to the general public's attention, and the controversy which followed in psychiatric circles. In her later years, debate raged over whether the woman upon whom Sybil was based indeed had multiple personalities, or was faking the whole thing, or whether she had some other disorder that compelled her to fake them. At the center was a real person who was suffering from a real illness. Today we're going to look at what that condition might have been, and what the true state is of our knowledge of this most shocking of mental illnesses.

  hirley Mason was that woman. She was born in 1923 and died in 1998. She worked as a commercial artist, although from about the age of 30, she spent nearly half of her time in psychotherapy, prompted by emotional breakdowns and outbursts. Most of her sessions were with Dr. Cornelia Wilbur. But one day, Mason came into Dr. Wilbur's office and said that her name was not Shirley Mason, but Peggy, and that she was a small girl. Other personalities soon appeared, finally totaling sixteen. Their ages varied, some were boys and some were girls, and there was even an infant. The longer they worked together, the more Dr. Wilbur became convinced that Mason's case was an extraordinary one. She began giving academic presentations on the case, and within a few years it was the foundation of her entire professional career. Dr. Wilbur even teamed up with an author, Flora Schreiber, to document the case. Many interviews with Mason's various personalities were taped. Wilbur determined that Mason's mother, Hattie Dorsett, a psychotic who had been hospitalized with schizophrenia, had subjected the young Mason to years of astonishing sexual and sadistic abuses.

  In the mid 1960s, Dr. Wilbur sought out help from colleagues to refine the diagnosis. She believed that Mason was a schizophrenic like her mother, and asked Dr. Herbert Spiegel to give his input. Dr. Spiegel saw Mason over the course of several years. His specialty was hypnosis, and he often hypnotized Mason. It was during these sessions that he began to realize that the various personalities might not be exactly what he'd been told they were. In a 1997 interview with the New York Review of Books, Dr. Spiegel said:

  ut one day during our regression studies, Sybil said, "Well, do you want me to be Helen?" And I said, "What do you mean?" And she said, "Well, when I'm with Dr. Wilbur she wants me to be Helen." I said, "Who's Helen?" "Well, that's a name Dr. Wilbur gave me for this feeling." So I said, "Well, if you want to it's all right, but it's not necessary." With me, Sybil preferred not to "be Helen." With Wilbur, it seemed she felt an obligation to become another personality. That's when I realized that [Dr. Wilbur] was helping her identify aspects of her life, or perspectives, that she then called by name. By naming them this way, she was reifying a memory of some kind and converting it into a "personality."

  Dr. Spiegel went on to explain how these personalities came to be:

  ybil told me that she had read The Three Faces of Eve, Thigpen and Cleckley's book on a case of multiple personality. She was very impressed with that book... I have the impression that Sybil learned from reading this book that she could express her agonies and her stresses in life through the histrionic display of multiple personalities, especially if it were encouraged by the therapist.

  For her 2011 book Sybil Exposed, author Debbie Nathan reviewed Dr. Spiegel's extensive notes and concluded:

  ybil's sixteen personalities had not popped up spontaneously but were provoked over many years of rogue treatment that violated practically every ethical standard of practice for mental health practitioners.

  Dr. Wilbur and Schreiber asked Dr. Spiegel to co-author the book with them. They were going to make it into a book because Dr. Wilbur had been unable to get it published in professional journals.

  I saw her "personalities" rather as game-playing... So I told Wilbur and Schreiber that it would not be accurate to call Sybil a multiple personality, and that it was not at all consistent with what I knew about her. Schreiber then got in a huff. She was sitting right in that chair there, and she said, "But if we don't call it a multiple personality, we don't have a book! The publishers want it to be that, otherwise it won't sell!" That was the logic behind their calling Sybil a multiple personality.

  And come out the book did, though it omitted any reference to the substantial role that Dr. Spiegel played in Mason's therapy, and changed or omitted many other parts of the tale that did not conform to the compelling narrative envisioned by Schreiber. The book reassigned credit for Dr. Spiegel's hypnosis sessions to Dr. Wilbur, even though she had in fact never actually done any hypnosis at that point in her career; instead, she'd suggested most of Mason's false memories of abuse using sodium pentothal. The book was, in point of fact, a pop horror story; a sensationalized and fictionalized account that exploited and exaggerated a real patient's condition, painting her as a freakish and frightening psycho. In doing so, author Schreiber even found and included a letter that Mason had written to her analyst in 1959:

  I am not going to tell you there isn't anything wrong. We both know there is. But it is not what I have led you to believe. I do not have any multiple personalities. I don't even have a "double" to help me out. I am all of them. I have been essentially lying in my pretense of them. The dissociations are not the problem because they do not actually exist, but there is something wrong or I would not resort to pretending like that.

  However, Schreiber flipped this around rather than taking it for the true confession it purported to be, and wrote that this was another of Sybil's hysterical personalities talking, and added (on her own) that Sybil had no memory of the two days during which she'd written the letter.

  The book was a hit, selling six million copies in its first four years. Diagnoses of Multiple Personality Syndrome went from 200 worldwide to thousands of new cases each year. It was the disease of the day, trendy and new and flashy.

  ut the book had other darker effects. Neighbors and acquaintances began to suspect that Mason was actually the "Sybil" of the book, bringing a great deal of unwanted attention as the local crazy lady. So Mason packed up and left, moved to Kentucky, and lived in a house very near to Dr. Wilbur, who had accepted an academic position there. The two remained friends, and Mason began to work as an art instructor and even opened a small art gallery, and lived what appears to have been a relatively normal life. Mason even moved into Dr. Wilbur's house to take care of her when she contracted Parkinson's disease. Dr. Wilbur died in 1992, and Mason followed her friend only a few years later.

  In 1980, Multiple Personality Syndrome was a widely known affliction, in part because of the popularity of the book and movie. The diagnosis first appeared in the DSM-III (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). It remained in the DSM-IV, published in 2000, though its name had been changed to Dissociative Identity Disorder and its definition substantially revised to recognize that there are no actual alternate personalities.

  The DSM-V revises the diagnosis even further, combining it with Pathological Possession Trance, in which patients believe themselves to be possessed by other identities, demons, etc. In short, Dissociative Identity Disorder is the inability to maintain a consistent conscious presence in your true identity. Indeed, finding herself suddenly aware that she had no recollection of the previous few days during her youthful times at Columbia University were the main reason Shirley Mason had initially sought help. Such dissociation with gaps of time are a prime ingredient of Dissociative Identity Disorder.

  And so we have Shirley Mason, born 1923, remembered only as the fictitious crazy lady with multiple personalities living inside her, even though we now know that that's almost certainly not the truth. Today she's described by dry language in the DSM which may or may not be her real diagnosis.

  Tip Skeptoid $2/mo $5/mo $10/mo One time

  hirley Mason is no longer around, so she is best served not by the book and movie, but by the true recollections of the person she was. She probably did suffer from a dissociative disorder of some kind. She was an attractive woman with an IQ of 174. She was evidently regarded as a talented artist and teacher. It's entirely possible that Shirley Mason was a victim, both of improper psychiatric care, and of greedy authors Schreiber and Wilbur.

  ut Schreiber's archives also revealed another surprise. Schreiber, Wilbur, and Mason had collaborated not merely to document and publicize a case study, but had done so with great care and forethought. They had formed Sybil Incorporated, based on a contract that split all profits three equal ways. Debbie Nathan discovered that even before the book had been published, the three sisters of Sybil Incorporated planned an entire brand including "Sybil movies, Sybil board games, Sybil tee shirts, Sybil dolls, and a Sybil musical."

  While the book was still being written and no money had yet been made, Mason had been without means of support. Dr. Wilbur bought her clothes and paid her rent. Mason's whole support network existed only because she allowed the charade of phantom personalities and the character of "Sybil" to continue. Wilbur herself had staked her professional reputation, and now an important book contract, on the multiple personality diagnosis. They all had too much invested, and too much at stake, to consider that their preferred diagnosis was wrong.

  It probably was wrong, but the three were beyond a point where they could consider that. Sybil had a profound effect on psychiatry, and on the thousands of patients (nearly all women) who were subsequently diagnosed with a condition now believed to have been nonexistent. Had it not been for the deep-laid plans of Sybil Incorporated, psychiatry might well have caught up with dissociative disorders before so many women were labeled with Multiple Personality Syndrome.

  《人格裂变的姑娘》读后感(二):我是怀疑论者

  书的最后,15个人成为了一个崭新的西碧儿。

  但是,这个新的西碧儿是否就是终点,我深表怀疑。

  我认为,这只是个暂时的平衡,终其一生,西碧儿恐怕都要为了成为一个完整的人而奋斗。

  多重人格来源于西碧儿幼年时期所遭受的一系列身体或心理的创伤,还有对一些本身无法去做的事情的渴望,以及创伤或渴望的再次分裂。

  多重人格的造就 来自西碧儿的母亲,父亲,更多的是无力反抗的西碧儿自身。

  在医生一连串揭露伤疤上硬壳的治疗过程中,西碧儿的那些年轻的分身在渐渐成长,所有的人在某个点达到了一种平衡,以至于新西碧儿显露了出来,她拥有各个分身的性格,那些姑娘或小伙子仿佛都自愿离去,自愿融合了,可实际上,人格分裂真得能治好吗?

  亲爱的西碧儿,即使你现在没有了记忆的空白,你就是一个完整的人格了吗?

  恐怕不是,你只是和他们共享了记忆而已。

  小心,佩吉说不定什么时候就想去旅行……

  《人格裂变的姑娘》读后感(三):硬件跟得上不?额叶还够用吗?

  看的是xinty665老师做的txt版。

  小说的风格基本上是纪实型的,没有什么情节冲突或者跌宕起伏,但是平实的叙事风格更显得这个真人背景改编而成的小说有一种真实的感觉,这是小说的长处。

  同样的原因,我也不理解整理科幻小说的xinty老师为什么会收录这本书。

  对于这个小说所讲述的核心内容——人格裂变,这个概念在近年来很多小说中作为一个设定被大量运用,一些动漫作品中还伴随有人格变更时形体的改变,就好像人格裂变是一个节省住房空间、交通工具和食物的方便的多人并存方式。

  但是在现实中,多重人格现象被认为是一种心理疾病,似乎强调几个元素:

  1,外源性的成因,如童年遭遇等;

  2,“主意识”对分裂人格的不自知;

  3,对精分的根源加以剖析,能够整合人格。

  看到这几个元素,我冒昧地认为这种心理现象中几乎生理因素所起的作用是非常小的,这可以说是一个“软件”现象。

  那么,说严重一点类似于双系统的电脑;说轻松一点,类似于见到一只钢笔的红领巾,左右肩上出现的小恶魔和小天使。

  这个时候就出现一个问题,所有的软件,都要烧硬件的。

  人脑也是一种硬件,这个硬件真的能支撑那么多人格吗?或者反过来问,人格就那么节约硬件么?

  当然,引用已故的生物学杂家Lyall Watson那句什劳子神经学名言:“ If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't.”

  从现在的状况来看,并不是说探索人脑之路是没有尽头的,因为理解大脑运作的除了人本身,还有很多强大的辅助工具,这些工具在不断地发展之中,总有一天,人脑与意识的关系会被解开。

  但是,这个答案我们也没有办法理解,就像我们没法理解别人专业中的前沿知识,就像我们没法理解42。

  同样,研究意识的路恐怕是没有尽头的。

  《人格裂变的姑娘》读后感(四):这本书

  每天挤半小时,终于把这本花了近一个星期看完了。

  一本书很难说好与不好,只有喜欢和不喜欢。

  对于这本书而言,吸引人的是西塞尔这个很特别甚至说是特殊的主角。从这本书中,能看出作者试图把西塞尔写的更饱满,把她的特殊的经历写的更详细更匠心独运。由于这本书主角的特别(至少我认为是这样),我自然希望这本书能够将西塞尔更完整介绍给我。

  本书是以第三人称写的。我并不是很赞同,我更倾向于更灵活的写法,主张第三和第一人称穿插写。因为,由于是第三人称,真的很难让我认识西塞尔的内心,用“我”能让我觉得我读到的是这个人格分裂症女孩儿的心声,不是通过别人告诉我的,这样书给我的感觉会强烈。但是,结构上,作者思路很清晰,主体采用倒叙和插叙,在分别讲述海蒂和威德拉的家族史和家族病史的时候很详细也很清楚。在故事进展上也是娓娓道来,十分顺畅,尤其是为西塞尔制定心理分析和治疗的那部分。

  看到最后,我不得不说作者可能在meet deadline,后面就越写越仓促甚至是一笔带过,尤其在描述玛丽放弃古怪信仰,离开所谓的“圆顶屋顶”时和迈克和锡尔拒绝接受“整合”变成女孩儿的心理状态和挣扎和挣扎之后的想明白再到接受,作者就用一两句描述带过,让我十分莫名其妙,有种“过了一两天,自己突然想通了,玛丽的放弃和那两个男生接受的态度是混混顿顿中的一两月中改变”的感觉。作者描述的特别匆忙,相反,我认为这是成为西塞尔走出的阴影最后一两步,如果这不处理好他们三个,西塞尔完全可能会情况恶化。

  总体而言,就心理学方面而言,这本书实属不可多得的实例材料。但是,作为文学作品来说,我觉得结尾需要加加工。

  《人格裂变的姑娘》读后感(五):读完的,一些。

  花了一个晚上看完了《人格裂变的姑娘》。

  在那一段充满了暴虐的伤痕、干涸的眼泪的童年时光中,西碧尔的十五个人格逐一形成(甚至还有两个男孩儿),构成了独特的心理家系。衍伸出了时间的丢失,身体却有各自为主的精神。

  我们有理由相信,人是无所不用其极进行自我防御的动物。因为防御机制的启动,甚至严重影响了人的精神状态。

  西碧尔的家族都有精神病史。但我觉得都是人为后天所造成的。家庭中存在暴力统治、精神独裁的情形出现,导致兄弟姐妹一一出现了疯狂的异状。

  西碧尔母亲的家族就是如此。所以西碧尔的母亲患有严重的精神分裂。分量过重的爱的给予,和疯狂的虐待破坏同时存在。在西碧尔的十五个人格中,都或多或少地透露出对母亲的冷漠和厌恶。佩吉·卢和佩吉·安(分别代表了西碧尔的愤怒、悔恨等发泄情绪)甚至否认母亲的存在。

  而西碧尔的父亲是天主教徒,用刻薄的教条教义狠狠地束缚了西碧尔日渐成长的内心。她什么也无法做,失却了青少年应有的活泼,所谓的“放肆的行为”更是荡然无存。成人后这样的心理束缚依然存在,甚至更加严重,每每处在困境中,她总是悲哀地祈求上帝,等待挽救。假若等候不到别人伸出的手或是别人收回了手,便不断逃避,将一切交给自己裂变出的人格。

  在书中她总是不断懊恼着自己为什么丢失了时间,其实是她自己不自觉地逃避着幼年时的伤害,导致一个人在面对正常的世界时也却步不前。而正是这样的心理困境,让西碧尔这个本身人格的所有特性都被剥夺了。每个人格保管西碧尔性格中的一部分。是她自己把自己交给了其他的人格,而而西碧尔本身一无所有,只是干瘪的空无一物的皮囊而已。

  治疗过程中西碧尔的不同人格都在医生的引导下成长到同西碧尔本身一样大的年纪。她——不,他们终于能够正视成长中所经历的,并勇敢地面对。第十七个人格——融合了所有人格,崭新的西碧尔,将重新开始自己美好的人生。

  《人格裂变的姑娘》读后感(六):人格裂变的姑娘

  《24重人格》里,本体和分身最后算是互相理解,和平共处了。他们共用一个身体,但仍然以不同的身份在各自经历生活。当时就想,若已经分裂出不同的人格,还有没有可能通过心理治疗对多重人格进行整合?是需要《致命ID》里那种强者生存的方式吗,让各个分身互相厮杀决定最后的存活者?

  西碧尔是不幸的,她无法面对、承受这种不幸,所以才分裂出不同的人格来代替自己去经受这些痛苦,分担愤怒,承受失望。但她又是非常幸运的,经历了长达十一年的治疗,得到了医生、朋友的理解和帮助,她也是勇敢的,最终直面了旧日的情感创伤,和分身们互相理解,互相接受,并最终完成本体和分身的整合。

  当她可以通过“心灵的眼睛”看到分身的时候,当她可以感受分身的情感体会的时候,当所有分身将分离出的本能和记忆还给她的时候,当她能感受到生命所缺失的空白时,西碧尔和所有的分身一起,迎来了梦想中的正常人生活。
