- Title
Walking a Tightrope: Ethics and Neuropsychiatric Research.
- Authors
Roberts, Laura Weiss; Heinrich, Thomas
- Abstract
This article presents information on a study which focused on the ethical aspects of neuropsychiatric research. Performing ethically sound neuropsychiatric and psychopharmacological research poses many challenges but represents a fundamental commitment for the profession of psychiatry. The imperative to alleviate the suffering of millions of people is balanced by the imperative to fulfill our ethical obligations in the creation and conduct of human scientific endeavors. The presence of ethical questions and challenges is not a failure but rather a reflection of the true nature of these endeavors.
