Abstract

Using her journalism skills, Cahalan researched Rosenhan, who died in 2012, and attempted to track down family, colleagues – and the volunteer ‘pseudopatients’ documented in his paper. The Great Pretender is the story of that detective work, set within a broader context of present-day psychiatry and treatment for mental health difficulties in the USA.
