Everything about Donald Ewen Cameron totally explained
Donald Ewen Cameron (
1901-
1967) was a
Scottish-
American psychiatrist. Born in
Bridge of Allan, he graduated from the
University of Glasgow in 1924.
Cameron lived and worked in
Albany, New York, and was involved in experiments in
Canada for
Project MKULTRA, a
United States based
CIA-directed
mind control program which eventually lead to the publication of the
KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation manual.
Cameron was the author of the
psychic driving concept which the CIA found particularly interesting. In it he described his theory on correcting madness, which consisted of erasing existing memories and rebuilding the psyche completely. After being recruited by the CIA, he commuted to
Montreal every week to work at the
Allan Memorial Institute of the
McGill University, and was paid $69,000 from 1957 to 1964 to carry out
MKULTRA experiments there. The CIA appears to have given him the potentially deadly experiments to carry out, as they'd be tried on non-US citizens. However, documents released in 1977 revealed that thousands of unwitting, as well as voluntary subjects were tested on during that time period. These subjects included United States citizens.
In addition to
LSD, Cameron also experimented with various paralytic drugs, as well as
electroconvulsive therapy at 30 to 40 times the normal power. His "driving" experiments consisted of putting subjects into drug-induced coma for months on end (up to three in one case) while playing tape loops of noise or simple repetitive statements. His experiments were typically carried out on patients who had entered the institute for minor problems such as anxiety disorders and post-partum depression, many of whom suffered permanently from his actions. His work in this field was inspired and paralleled by the British psychiatrist Dr
William Sargant who carried out virtually identical experiments at
St Thomas' Hospital, London and Belmont Hospital, Surrey, also without his patients' consent.
It was during this era that Cameron became known worldwide, serving as the second President of the
World Psychiatric Association, as well as president of the
American and Canadian psychiatric associations. He was also a member of the
Nuremberg medical tribunal a decade earlier, where he accused
German medics of things he himself did between 1934 - 1960 or later, though his scientific work during
World War II for the
OSS has never been a secret.
