Mona Gupta
I'm a psychiatrist and bioethics researcher. I'm interested in ethical issues in psychiatry, particularly the intersection between epistemology and ethics. For the last number of years, I've been working on the ethical aspects of using evidence-based medicine in psychiatric practice. I use both conceptual and qualitative methods in my research.
In my clinical work I focus on consultation-liaison psychiatry which is an area of psychiatry dedicated to the psychiatric care of the medically ill. I have an interest in the psychological aspects of living with type 1 diabetes.
Here's a summary of my training:
Medicine (1995) - McGill University
FRCPC, Psychiatry (2000) - University of Toronto
PhD, Bioethics (2009) - University of Toronto

Rated as one of the top 15 breakthroughs in medicine over the last 150 years, evidence-based medicine (EBM) has become highly influential in medicine. EBM has been particularly popular within psychiatry, a field that is haunted by a legacy of controversial interventions. For advocates, anchoring psychiatric practice in research data makes psychiatry more scientific valid and ethically legitimate. Few, however, have questioned whether EBM, a concept pioneered by those working in other areas of medicine, can be applied to psychiatric disorders.
In this groundbreaking book, the Canadian psychiatrist and ethicist Mona Gupta analyzes the basic assumptions of EBM, and critically examines their applicability to psychiatry. By highlighting the basic ethical tensions between psychiatry and EBM, the author addresses the fundamental and controversial question - should psychiatrists practice evidence-based medicine at all?
