With new details of James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen’s role exposed, the American Psychological Association, or APA, has renewed calls for the pair to be held accountable. Rhea Farberman of the APA spoke out on Wednesday.

Rhea Farberman: “We were distressed and, frankly, sickened by some of the brutal details. The techniques that were described are clearly torture. They are a violation of everything that our discipline stands for. They are clearly a violation of human rights and international law. As I said earlier, the two psychologists who apparently were involved are not members of our association. They’re therefore beyond the reach of our ethics program. But regardless, they should be held accountable. If these allegations are true, they should be held accountable for very serious violations of U.S. law and international law.”
