Season 3 Episode 1! We start with the famous pseudopatient study, titled "On Being Sane in Insane Places," conducted by David Rosenhan, published in Science on Jan 19, 1973. In this study, Rosenhan asked questions about psychiatric diagnosis and the real differences between normal and abnormal people. His work was a part of and bolstered the growing anti-psychiatry movement, ushering in a complete revision of the DSM and conversations about mental health treatment in America. If sanity and insanity exist, how shall we know them?
