One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nes
Randall P. McMurphy was obviously someone with Malingering. He was obviously in the mental hospital to get out of work or to avoid taxes or something. Like the psychologists said, there was nothing wrong with him, and he just stirred up trouble in any way that he could. McMurphy didn't belong in a mental hospital; he belonged in a prison for statutory rape. Maybe he needed some medicine to calm him down or something, but he didn't belong in the mental hospital. I believe that Chief was suffering from a Conversion disorder. Due to problems during his childhood due to his father's alcoholism, he shut himself off, and quit talking to people. Not just being a quiet person; he fooled people into thinking he was deaf and dumb.
One, he would be staying away from his wife, (nothing that a restraining order couldn't do,) and two, it would be better for him to get counseling and then stay with other people rather than going home to an empty house to think about her. The only reason I think that he might qualify for staying in the hospital is because it would be killing two birds with one stone. I think I would have to consider him as being manic, because he was either yelling or just really excitable. I don't think he needed to be in the mental institute either. Harding had an obsession with his wife. Maybe he had an anxiety disorder, because he did seem to be awfully apprehensive about things, like McMurphy's breaking out, or sleeping with that girl. I still don't see an anxiety disorder as a reason to be admitted into a mental hospital. I don't really know what was wrong with Tabor. But they have drugs for that, and they put people on them all the time, and I don't really think that he should've been in a mental hospital, unless he was a danger to others, which I don't think he was. As far as I can see, he just stuttered, and that shouldn't have put him in the mental institute. He was terrified at the thought of losing her, and constantly thought she was cheating on him, even though he had no reason to think so. If he really was deaf and dumb like everyone thought, he could've learned to communicate through sign language and live a normal life. If he needed help dealing with his father's alcoholism, he could've simply gone to counseling, because he didn't seem in any way dangerous to himself or others. He always talked about her or thought about her.
