  Rosenhan experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For this experiment, Rosenhan used a well-known research and teaching hospital, whose staff had heard of the results of the initial study, but claimed that similar errors could not be made at their institution.
Rosenhan claimed that during a three month period, one or more pseudopatients would attempt to gain admission and the staff were required to detect which patients were impostors.
Rosenhan published his findings in Science, criticising the validity of psychiatric diagnosis and the disempowering and demeaning nature of patient care experienced by the associates in the study.

 Rosenhan
Rosenhan claims that the study demonstrates that psychiatrists cannot reliably tell the difference between people who are sane and those who are insane.
Rosenhan explains that psychiatric labels tend to stick in a way that medical labels do not and that everything a patient does is interpreted in accordance with the diagnostic label once it has been applied.
Rosenhan noted that experience of hospitalisation for the pseudo patients was one of depersonalisation and powerlessness.

We do know that each pseudopatient, Rosenhan included, said that the voice was of the same sex as he or she, that it had been bothering the pseudopatient to some extent, that he or she had come to the unit on the advice of friends who had heard that "this was a good hospital".
Rosenhan and his confederates were given some therapy, and when they told of the joys, satisfactions and disappointments of an ordinary life - remember, they were making nothing up save the original complaint - all found that their pasts were reconfigured to fit the diagnosis: "This white 39-year-old male...
Rosenhan followed all orders while in hospital, asked for privileges, helped other patients to deal with their problems, offered legal advice, probably played his fair share of ping pong, and took copious notes, which the staff labelled as "writing behaviour" and saw as part of his paranoid schizophrenic diagnosis.

 Newman Study Site Rosenhan
In 1973 sociologist David Rosenhan designed a clever study to examine the difficulty that people have shedding the "mentally ill" label.
Rosenhan and seven associates had themselves committed to different mental hospitals by complaining that they were hearing voices (a symptom commonly believed to be characteristic of schizophrenia).
Rosenhan didn't conclude that the staffs at these hospitals were incompetent or dishonest.

David Kay tends to blame the intelligence community and its analysis that there were WMD, and this is probably accurate, but "intelligence" is not a perfect science and "analysis of raw data" is definitely not an exact science.

Some of the hospitals Rosenhan had chosen were posh and built of white brick; others were state-run gigs with urine-scented corridors and graffiti-scratched walls.
He claims that diagnosis is not carried within the person, but within the context, and that any diagnostic process that lends itself so readily to massive errors of this sort cannot be a very reliable one.
So he said, "Sure." He said in the next three months he would send an undisclosed number of pseudopatients to this particular hospital, and the staff were to judge, in a sort of experimental reversal, not who was insane, but who was sane.

 Dr. David Rosenhan / Don't tell the doctor that you can travel beyond the body
Rosenhan and his associates had themselves voluntarily admitted as pseudo-patients.
At first, Rosenhan began taking notes by carefully jotting things down on a small piece of paper hidden in his hand.
As a final note to this study, all of the normal people who served in the original study were discharged with the label of "schizophrenic in remission." In other words, they are still considered schizophrenic, but they are "temporarily free of symptoms." The label stayed with them – even after they had left the hospital.

In 1972, a psychologist named David Rosenhan convinced some of his friends to fake their way into psychiatric wards across the US.
In the 1970s, Spitzer and a group of colleagues completely revised the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual on Mental Disorders, or DSM for short, tightening the diagnostic criteria, taking away from it signs of subjectivity and psychobabble… "No," repeats Spitzer, "that experiment could never be successfully repeated.
This is a long way from the original experiment where Rosenhan and his accomplices were locked up and treated with disdain.

When David Rosenhan first presented to the psychiatrist he complained of a voice in his head that simply said 'thud'.
After some simple test he was admitted and kept in the institution for weeks, despite immediately telling his doctor that the voice had now disappeared.
Inspired by Rosenhan, psychologist Lauren Slater repeated the experiment recently and her conclusions were only marginally less disturbing.

Most famously, David Rosenhan's 1972 study, published as On being sane in insane places, demonstrated that the diagnosis of schizophrenia was (at least at the time) often subjective and unreliable.
Partly as newer antipsychotic medication (called atypical antipsychotic medication) is equally effective as older medication, but also affects serotonin function and may have slightly less of a dopamine blocking effect.
Psychiatrist David Healy has also argued that pharmaceutical companies have promoted certain oversimplified biological theories of mental illness to promote their own sales of biological treatments
