Referendum on Torture: Debate Over Role of Psychologists in Military Interrogations Comes to a Head at APA Annual Convention

The debate over the role that psychologists should play in military interrogations heated up this weekend at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association. After years of back-and-forth discussion and several resignations from the association, APA members are now voting on a referendum that could make any participation in coercive prisoner interrogations a violation of their code of ethics. Meanwhile, California became the first state in the nation to officially condemn the participation of health professionals—including psychologists—in coercive interrogations of prisoners in the so-called war on terror.

  • The administration and supervisors that run university campuses especially the ones in TEXAS are utter complete trash. They don't care about human life at all. They are sick, morbid, and sadistic people. Major problems that are occurring on college campuses are mobbing, gangstalking, gaslighting, and snitching.

  • why government cover up the truth of campus shooting tragedies? What responsibilities should APA take to avoid future coercive persuasion victims' suicide, threaten and forced crimes, and overdoes, heart failure murders???????????????????????­???????????
