No Place to Hide: Torture, Psychologists, and the APA

Great work on this!

apa has also question the legitimacy of recovered memories, calling into question many trauma survivor's truthfulness just when they need hope and understanding.This has led in some cases to blaming the victim, and the abuser suing the therapist.

I will be sending this to all of my colleagues for whom I have email addresses. This is why I dropped my APA membership; I was considering rejoining but will not--the final, current response by the organization has been too little and much too late. I will join Psychologists for Social Responsibility, a group I have been associating with at a local level. Thanks for making this documentary available.

This isn't the first time the APA has stepped out of line. They were involved in the US eugenics movement too through their promotion of culturally specific and totally worthless IQ tests which were used as a basis for tens of thousands of forced sterilisations in the USA right up until the 1970s. Maybe its time that the ethical psychologists left the APA and founded their own organisation.

Great job!

Well done. I will assign viewing for the ethics part of my clinical class.
