What was the purpose of the classic 1970s study conducted by David Rosenhan, in which he had mentally healthy volunteers fake psychological symptoms, such as hearing voices, to get themselves admitted to a psychiatric facility?

▸ to illustrate the lack of adequate care in psychiatric facilities in the 1970s

▸ to demonstrate that diagnostic assessments are ineffective

▸ to demonstrate that labels such as schizophrenia can be stigmatizing and dehumanizing by emphasizing a person's diagnosis rather than their identity

▸ to illustrate the difficulties that patients have in communicating with doctors and other mental health professionals
