sylvia the wood nymph

Feature length documentary about a woman who struggled with Multiple Personality Disorder (now called Dissociative Identity Disorder), which she experienced as a result of childhood trauma. She developed six personalities to help her cope with her past and dissociate from her memories. In the late 1980’s, psychiatrist Dr. Timothy Brewerton helped her uncover and integrate these fractured identities. She allowed him to film their sessions in order to ensure others would see that DID is real. Through these remarkable session videos, Sylvia the Wood Nymph reveals in stark detail the complex emotional journey an individual must follow from DID towards full integration.
