American Psychological Association Urged to Adopt Ban on Interrogations

HeadlineJul 31, 2015

The world’s largest group of psychologists is reportedly poised to ban future involvement with U.S. military interrogations, ending the association’s long-running complicity in post-9/11 torture. According to James Risen of The New York Times, the board of the American Psychological Association is expected to recommend the new ethics rules at its annual meeting next week. The new rules come after top APA officials lost their jobs earlier this month following an independent investigation documenting how the association covered up its close collaboration with officials at the Pentagon and CIA. The new rules would prohibit psychologists from participating in any interrogations that also involve military or intelligence personnel.
