Question 7

rosenhan experiment

Answer 7

For this study, eight ‘pseudopatients’ (Professor Rosenhan himself and seven volunteers) presented themselves at institutions across the country with the same symptoms: they reported hearing voices that said, “thud, empty, hollow.” All eight were admitted and diagnosed with serious mental disorders.

The paper, ‘being insane in insane places’ was nothing short of explosive. Published at a time of extreme scepticism aimed at psychiatry and its institutions, it provided support for the growing anti-psychiatry movement and was used to justify a trend toward deinstitutionalisation, in which large psychiatric hospitals were shuttered in favour of community-based care centres.
