Set Point with Steve Perry: Policy and Bad Science

In the past, bad science has been used to promote certain policy changes. In response to a New York Post story, Steve Perry reflects on Susannah Cahalan’s research uncovering how a study on the mentally ill was faked in the 1970s, resulting in harm to the mentally ill. The full story is in the book The Great Pretender: The Undercover Mission that Changed Our Understanding of Madness.
