On February 29, 2012, I posted an announcement pertaining to a new, APA member-initiated task force related to psychologists’ involvement in national security settings.
There is another group of psychologists involved in trying to shape APA policy on the ethics of psychlogists pertaining to national security: The Coalition for an Ethical Psychology. They have called for an annulment of APA’s 2005 Task Force Report on Psychological Ethics and National Security (PENS Report).
To be as helpful, transparent, and comprehensive as possible, I posted the APA's PENS report and the Background Statement on Annulment of the APA's PENS Report from The Coalition for an Ethical Psychology in the Articles and Papers section of this site.
Readers are referred to these documents in order to have a deeper and more thorough understanding of the ethical issues related to this ongoing controversy.
