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.
