About one year ago, I had
condemned the American Psychological Association for refusing to ban psychologists from assisting the government in torture. I ended my post by saying, "It is time for psychologists to find a conscience." Well, it appears that they have: according to the
AP, the APA has formally banned psychologists
from taking part in interrogations at the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and other military detention sites. The ban means psychologists who are association members can't assist the U.S. military at these sites...
Good for them. I only wish that they had refused to participate in torture from the beginning.
