David L. Rosenhan (/ˈroʊznən/; November 22, 1929 – February 6, 2012) was an American psychologist. He is best known for the Rosenhan experiment, a study challenging the validity of psychiatry diagnoses.
The study has been questioned; Rosenhan never published his data nor the book he had promised; the experiment's subjects could not be found, save two, one who turned out Rosenhan himself, and a second one, whose positive psychiatric hospital experience was discarded by Rosenhan and not included in the "study." Kenneth J. Gergen has stated that "some people in the department called him a bullshitter.”
