Psychology In Rosenhan's Sane In Insane Places

In this chapter of the book “Sane in insane places” “Lauren Slater, Opening Skinner’s Box” David Rosenhan totally exploited the way doctors diagnosed patients and how patients were treated as almost convicts in mental hospitals. He also proved using psychology is not a consistent way of diagnosing patients with loads of pills most patients didn't need. Also how the same experiment Rosenhan came up with was repeated years later but was due to the fact doctors weren't giving thorough examinations. I agree with the idea that psychology isn’t a good way of diagnosing pseudopatients in medical hospitals because they cannot correctly determine with what is wrong with the patient in need. The way Rosenhan was able to prove that psychology
is very inconsistent with their examinations is that himself and 8 of his friends posed as patients who were diagnosed with “schizophrenia” all simply said they heard the word “thud” once in their head and then soon later said it went away stood days in the hospitals and only the actual patients knew they were normal. “Slater” Then one woman used the same exact method except she didn't stay anywhere overnight but was diagnosed countless pills for being diagnosed with “depression” which proved even in time and changing methods using psychology isn't consistent enough to be used for diagnosing patients. Psychology may be key in other areas but it just isn't meant for depicting what's inside the person’s brain and what are roots of their problems and at one point not treating patients with class which turned out to be a positive for a lot of people in need of medical attention.
