Sally Field starred in the title role, with Joanne Woodward playing the part of Sybil's psychiatrist, Cornelia B. Wilbur. Based on the book Sybil by Flora Rheta Schreiber, the movie dramatizes the life of a shy young graduate student, Sybil Dorsett (in real life, Shirley Ardell Mason), suffering from dissociative identity disorder as a result of the psychological trauma she suffered as a child. With the help of her psychiatrist, Sybil gradually recalls the severe child abuse that led to the development of at least 13 different personalities. Field's portrayal of Sybil won much critical acclaim, as well as an Emmy Award.

Synopsis
[edit] Sybil meets Dr. Wilbur
Sybil Dorsett is a young artist from Willow Corners, Wisconsin who is employed as a substitute teacher while she works on her M.A. degree. She has periodic blackouts that last anywhere from a few minutes to a few years. An episode that began in front of her young students in a park, ended several hours later in Sybil's apartment with her wrist cut, and a drawing of a swinging light bulb on her artist easel.

Sybil ends up in a clinic. Dr. Cornelia Wilbur (Joanne Woodward) is called in to give Sybil a neurological examination. Sybil has tunnel vision and is talking like a small child. During the smell test, Sybil is visibly disturbed at the scent of disinfectant. In Dr. Wilbur's clinic office, Sybil has a blackout. Sybil admits to having blackouts and fears they are getting worse. Dr. Wilbur theorizes that the incidents are a kind of hysteria, all related to a deeper problem. She asks Sybil to return at a later date for more counseling.

Willard Dorsett
Sybil's widowed father Willard Dorsett (William Prince), who has moved to Chicago, is in town on his honeymoon with his new bride Freida (Jane Hoffman). At a lunch in a museum cafeteria, Sybil tries to explain her illness and the visit to Dr. Wilbur. Her father belongs to a religion that does not believe in "practitioners of the mind" and begins quoting Scripture to Sybil. She loses control and runs out of the museum. Sybil awakes in her own bed, trying to drown out the her mother's voice in her head, and the memories of the past few days.
