The Great Pretender by Susannah Cahalan

3.0

Looking at the history of psychiatry through the lens of a 1973 study involving pseudo-patients in mental hospitals, Cahalan then extends this book into a question of psychiatry as a whole. Cahalan provides an interesting perspective given her history with mental impairment and psychosis. However, the book overall felt weirdly organized and tough to follow.
