“On Being Sane in Insane Places” It was very interesting to read about Rosenhan’s study and how psychiatrists‚ who go through big coursework and training‚ could wrongly classify a patient. It surprised me how some psychiatrists couldn’t say they don’t know what’s wrong with patients instead they could possibly diagnose someone as insane. Though reading this chapter I found the strange things from Rosenhan’s study that was hard to believe. Slater states‚ “The strange thing was‚ the other patients
