And members of the American Psychological Association have approved a landmark vote banning participation in what many call government-sanctioned torture. In the largest turnout for an APA vote to date, nearly 60 percent of APA members backed a referendum banning participation in interrogations of prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, Afghanistan and the secret CIA black sites. The referendum was spawned by a dissident APA group called the Coalition for an Ethical Psychology. Dan Aalbers, a co-founder of the group who helped draft the referendum, said, “This new policy will ensure that psychologists work for the abused and not the abusers at places like Guantanamo Bay and the CIA black sites.” The vote follows a lengthy struggle by the dissident members against the APA’s leadership. APA officials are already vowing to delay implementation of the referendum vote by up to a year.
