The Rosenhan Experiment

We made it that way.  Now go back to your bowl of kimchi.

Korean food is garbage food.

Korean food is garbage food.

Someone sent me link saying Kimchi was "human waste food"

Kimchi is disgusting!

Korean barbecue, now that's some good shit.

Hell Yeah!

Don't you claim to know something about history?

Yes, and that would include specific knowledge of modern health institutions, why? Politics, war, art and culture is what I read I'm interested in history, not procedural regulations of asylums or law enforcement agencies beyond Supreme Court cases that have addressed those issues, or cultural reform movements like those of the early 19th century that have addressed those issues.

Uhm, because you need good general knowledge in order to provide context to historical knowledge?  Otherwise, it's just trivia. 

/I like how Tim suggests that things he doesn't care about is just trivia.

We at the Timmay is a Poophead Front (TPF) claim full credit for the delicious Chick-Fil-A hijack.

Was this study done in a Soviet mental hospital?

[DGuller]

In 2008, the BBC's Horizon science program performed a somewhat related experiment over two episodes entitled "How Mad Are You?". The experiment involved ten subjects, five living with previously-diagnosed mental health conditions, and five with no such diagnosis. They were observed by three experts in mental health diagnoses and their challenge was to identify the five with mental health problems.[11] The experts correctly diagnosed two of the ten patients, misdiagnosed one patient, and incorrectly identified two healthy patients as having mental health problems.[12]

  Sounds like things aren't getting that much better with time.

Query: I never liked their sandwiches.  Is not eating their sandwiches now considered agreeing with the boycott?

Because I love their waffle fries, and so I may eat there again.  And I'd like to be covered on each approach, as the unofficial attorney of gay Hattiesburg.

I haven't been able to eat there since I went to the mall one morning and saw cockroaches crawling all over their table.

That means the experts are no better than camels randomly picking a result.

Did you just pick a random animal, or is this a Chinese saying?

I remember there was an experiment where camels competed with experts on picking stocks.  The camels won.

This isn't funny if you really think about it, though.  Psychiatry isn't just some harmless curiosity like astrology.  Many lives are affected by it, often by force or at least heavy-handed compulsion.  This is a pseudoscience that can destroy lives.  For all we know, many of the children diagnosed with ADD and are force-fed amphetamines are only suffering from being young (at least until they are "treated").
