Host Wendy Webb speaks with local filmmaker Jan Haaken, professor of psychology at PSU, about her new film, "Guilty Except For Insanity," which tells the stories of patients living in the Salem State Hospital. The film illustrates a broken American system in which some people have to commit crimes to get psychiatric help. The film portrays the deeply human dilemmas behind media images of the criminally insane, and probes the consequences of the American medical management of madness.
