This is another example of how university professors deliberately submit corrupt research in order to try to substantiate their preconceived ideas. They win fame and status (and tenure and more federal grants) as they lie to everyone. These professors are not purely pursuing truth. They have an agenda and often it is very self-serving. Even though their results are published in peer-reviewed journals, that does not mean that their results are necessarily valid. The same thing is happening with climate change. Think especially of Michael Mann and the East Anglia University emails to "hide the decline." We can't trust the liberal scientists and professors. They have repeatedly demonstrated that they are not worthy of our trust.

Academic feminists pushed pretty hard to shut down the asylums. They said that it was too easy for husbands to commit their wives to those places, and they’d watched too many movies about women who were stuck in them.

Psychs. also pushed to have them closed, because they didn’t want to work in them. They wanted to work in offices with drugged outpatient clients instead.

Same type of tactics > IMO.

So Climate Change is not the first case of Contrived Urgency
meant to attract funding and greater academic influence.
Of course, in the late 70’s and 80’s, I used to hear things about pediatrician Dr. Spock too. People began to question his techniques because the outcome was often not expected and not at all helpful to the family dynamic.

Things I had to learn in college that turned out to be fake:

Rigoberta Menchu (I was a little suspicious of her from the start).
Half of all marriages end in divorce.
Standford Prison Experiment.
Rosenhan experiment.

What I learned that is still true: there is a lot of fraud in academia and science.

Now tell us about all the faked studies pushing prozac and
electric shock ‘treatment.’

Can’t trust any lib, period.

[Jeff Chandler]

Nuts.

"After months investigating, she was unable to locate most of the other “pseudopatients” mentioned in Rosenhan’s paper."

I say whoa right there. Just because the author couldn't find them, doesn't mean they didn't exist. I wouldn't rule out that the author is maybe projecting some of hos his own inadequacies on the study.

[vpintheak]

Follow the money. Always. It’s how they do it.

[dfwgator]

Is this where they conducted the study?
