Sarbin and Mancuso

Back 2

Noted that a psychiatrist using the newer diagnostic system would not have diagnosed R'han's pseudo patients with sschizophrenia, because tha 'hallucination' must be repeated on several occasions.
REFUTES - suggest that updating of manuals mean findings would not be replicated as the diagnostic criteria has become more reliable.

Langweiler and Linden

Back 3

Sent trained pseudo-patient to 4 physicians eacgh with a different professional background. Although the p'pant exhibited the exact same symptoms, four different diagnosises and treatements were given.
SUPPORTS despite the updating of diagnostic manuals as again it shows the unreliability of diagnoses as four different ones were given and none were correct.

Loring and Powell
