Rosenhan's Experiment dvd: being sane in insane places

Ref: 1789 Can psychiatrists reliably detect insanity? Rosenhan set out to test if they could in his 1973 study. When all of his pseudo patients were diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, forced to remain in institutions and only released once they agreed to accept medication, Rosenhan's study forced many challenging questions on the psychiatric profession.
This dvd examines and evaluates this experiment, looking how it was viewed at the time and how it continues to influence psychiatry and the treatment of mental illness.
