Donald Ewen Cameron ((1901-12-24)24 December 1901 – 8 September 1967(1967-09-08)), commonly referred to as "D. Ewen Cameron" or "Ewen Cameron," was a 20th-century Scottish-born psychiatrist who was involved in the United States Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA's) unethical and ultimately, "useless," research on mind control and who served as President of the Canadian, American and World Psychiatric Associations, the American Psychopathological Association and the Society of Biological Psychiatry during the 1950s. Notwithstanding a career of honors, and leadership in early 1950s psychiatric circles, he has been heavily criticized in some circles for his administration of disproportionately-intense electroshock therapy, experimental drugs, and LSD to his patients without their consent and causing some to become comatose.
