"The American Psychological Association & Detainee Interrogations: Unanswered Questions" by Ken Pope, Ph.D., ABPP & Tom Gutheil, MD, was published in Psychiatric Times (2008, vol. 25, #8).
Psychologists' & Physicians' Involvement in Detainee Interrogations provides citations of over 300 articles, books, and chapters addressing this controversy. It also provides links to a few relevant organizations. Finally, there are some other pages on this web site on ethical standards, the military, and other associated topics (e.g., a page with links to over 100 ethics codes & practice guidelines; resources for U.S. troops, veterans, their families, & those who provide services to them; U.S. & Canadian psychology licensing boards & psychology laws). Links to the general sections appear in the vertical list along the left side of each page of this web site.
Why I Resigned from the American Psychological Association is the text of a letter was sent to APA President Alan Kazdin via FedEx on February 6, 2008, and to members of the APA Council of Representatives via the Council listserv, February 7. The letter notes that I (Ken Pope) respectfully disagree with decisive changes that APA has made in its ethical stance after 9-11, and that these changes moved APA far from its ethical foundation, historic traditions, and basic values, and beyond what I can in good conscience support with my membership.
