Girls and Their Monsters: The Truth Behind the Genain Quadruplets with Audrey Clare Farley

It was a classic research case, laid out to millions of psychology students worldwide: the spectacle of Genain quadruplets, four genetically identical siblings who all suffered from various aspects of psychosis.

Now, decades after they first became a sensation, a new book peels back the public-facing layers to reveal a dark and disturbing story that makes us question everything we thought we knew about these four women.

Today we sit down with Audrey Clare Farley, author of "Girls and Their Monsters: The Genain Quadruplets and the Making of Madness In America," for a look behind the curtain.
