"One of America's most courageous young journalists" and the author
of the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir Brain on Fire
investigates the shocking mystery behind the dramatic experiment
that revolutionized modern medicine (NPR). Doctors have struggled
for centuries to define insanity--how do you diagnose it, how do
you treat it, how do you even know what it is? In search of an
answer, in the 1970s a Stanford psychologist named David Rosenhan
and seven other people--sane, healthy, well-adjusted members of
society--went undercover into asylums around America to test the
legitimacy of psychiatry's labels. Forced to remain inside until
they'd "proven" themselves sane, all eight emerged with alarming
diagnoses and even more troubling stories of their treatment.
Rosenhan's watershed study broke open the field of psychiatry,
closing down institutions and changing mental health diagnosis
forever. But, as Cahalan's explosive new research shows in this
real-life detective story, very little in this saga is exactly as
it seems. What really happened behind those closed asylum doors?
