The role that psychologists--and the American Psychological Association--have played in the context of national security detainee abuse and torture is a pressing concern for the profession of psychology and for everyone committed to human rights.
Many excellent resources are available on this deeply troubling topic--including a variety of carefully researched and exceptional articles, books, and documentaries. Especially valuable as well are the growing number of government reports and other official documents that have now become publicly available.
In an effort to make this information more readily accessible to those who might be interested, I have recently completed a 10-minute online video (below) entitled “No Place to Hide: Torture, Psychologists, and the APA.” It provides a brief, timely overview of what has unfolded over the past several years and where things stand today.
