Description
Amazon.com Susannah Cahalanâ€s first book Brain on Fire documented her experience with a
treatable autoimmune disease that masqueraded as mental illness. The disease did so by causing
inflammation on her brain, and after being misdiagnosed with schizophrenia, she was given
antipsychotic drugs and nearly transferred to the psych ward. Luckily, an insightful doctor saved
her from being committed to a very different life than the one she is living now. Diseases like that
are called the great pretenders, because their symptoms mimic the behaviors of psychiatric
illnesses. Cahalanâ€s personal experience led her deeper into the study of mental health, where
she learned of a groundbreaking 1973 study called “On Being Sane in Insane Places.― In that
study, a Stanford psychologist named David Rosenhan, along with seven other sane people,
volunteered to get themselves committed into asylums by repeating the words “thud, empty,
hollow.― That was pretty much all it took. Eventually, they had to find their way out. The Great
Pretender is a panoramic look at the mental health industry, but at its center is a mystery. As
Cahalan, who is a journalist, sets out to learn more about Rosenhanâ€s study, her work
uncovers as many questions as it does answers. The result is a book that broadens our
understanding of a system that many feel is broken, at the same time that it deepens our
relationship to the people who are affected by that system (those who are admitted and those who
are administering). It may also serve as a reminder that itâ€s not always good for us to meet our
heroes. The more we read about Rosenhan, the more we begin to wonder if he wasn't a different
kind of pretender than people thought him to be.--Chris Schluep, Amazon Book Review Read
