Fascinating. And yet familiar.

From http://www.psychologicalscience.org/...le.cfm?id=1947

The controversy dates back to Rosenhan's paper, "On Being Sane in Insane Places," which appeared in Science, about eight pseudo-patients who gained admission into mental hospitals by pretending to hear voices saying "empty," "hollow," or "thud." With one exception, the pseudo-patients were diagnosed with schizophrenia, despite behaving regularly in every other way.
