Thanks to Scott Lilienfeld I was able to get ahold of a couple
articles that raise some excellent critiques regarding the Rosenhan
"pseudopatient" study. It's amazing to learn that a study considered
to be a "classic" in the field can be filled with so many holes. Wish
I knew all this a long time ago. If you or your students are
interested (as it's particularly relevant to the discussion on the DSM-
V as well as Labeling and the idea of self-fullfilling prophecy),
here is the link to the episode (I couldn't help but throw in a little
bit from the movie "Shrek" - it fit in so perfectly to this topic and
might it be helpful if/when you're looking for movie connections to
psychology:
