Girl, Interrupted In the book Girl, Interrupted, Susanna Kaysen tells of her experience as a patient in a psychiatric hospital. Although a doctor, according to Kaysen, referred her to McLean Hospital within twenty minutes of interviewing her, Susanna voluntarily enters herself. She did this for two reasons; one, because of her legal age of eighteen and two, for fear that she would be forced to enter either way – though she later learns that she could not have been made or forced to enter McLean.
