Hi Muffled,
I've seen the film and read the book. What is so disturbing about either one is that Susannah didn't need hospitalization. It was the 60s and her behavior was deemed unacceptable by her parents and so she gets sent to a doctor and without a second opinion, off she goes to the mental hospital. That's what is upsetting to me that she didn't need to be there.
