What's your favourite Case Study?

Asch's Conformity here. I like it because it shows that there is conformity in society etc.

You?

Money's Ablatio Penis. It's just fascinating
There are three case studies that I love so much: Rosenhan, Thigpen and Cleckley and Sperry.

Thigpen and Cleckley (Individual differences: MPD) I love the part when Thigpen and Cleckley met Eve Black at the very first time "Hi there Doc"

Rosenhan (Individual differences), shows how stickiness of labelling can be so powerful.

Sperry (Physiological) confusing (with the left and right hemisphere) but it is so interesting!

I found Rosenhan quite interesting, regarding how damaging a label can be. Also Milgram, because of just how powerful the results were - if he'd found differently, Germans could have ended up being persecuted forever, purely because of what their ancestors did, but because he found that actually, everyone is capable of causing people pain whilst obeying orders, it had a positive effect on society.
