Critics: APA Anti-Torture Measure Falls Short

HeadlineAug 11, 2006

In other news, the American Psychological Association has passed a measure condemning the involvement of psychologists in torture. But some members say it doesn’t go far enough. The measure affirms the APA’s existing policy allowing psychologists to take part in military interrogations. Leonard Rubenstein, executive director of Physicians for Human Rights, said: “There is no way for the APA to be involved in those interrogations without becoming complicit in torture.” Both the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association have already passed resolutions against physician involvement in prisoner interrogation.
