The film is abusive in itself

One of Shirley Mason's art students & some people she grew up with, figured out she was the real Sybil, after reading the book If it was all made up, that couldn't happen. If she later stated that the worst of the abuse never happened, I have to wonder if she was really totally cured and maybe that was stated by an alternate personality

Who said it never happened??
I am quite wary of all this media blab about everything being made up.
Its very very suspicious that all these so-called claims only came out after
every single person
who could defend it has passed away.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?

I agree. We can't really know for sure, but I don't necessarily believe that it was all made up or partly made up.

Actually the whole thing was a hoax. Sybil nor anyone else ever had so-called multiple personalities. The real Sybil was prompted by her doctor to produce them. Then once the snowball of a book deal, movie, etc. was rolling the doctor told her if she keeps saying it's false she would lose her free therapy.
So even though the book and movie says Sybil was "cured" and lived happily ever after, in reality she was dependent on the doctor for the rest of her life.
This is just one more proof that doctors do more harm than good,
