Research is as essential in psychiatry as in any other branch of medicine. While there are ethical problems in carrying out research, it is unethical for the profession to fail to do research because this deprives present and future patients of the possibility of more informed and better treatment as well as the (more distant) prospect of prevention of psychiatric disorder. Since much psychiatric research can be carried out only with patients or healthy human subjects, it is important to consider the ethical problems involved in such research.
