New York, August 27 (RHC)-- The board of the American Psychological Association has voted nearly unanimously to adopt a new policy barring psychologists from participating in national security interrogations.
The new rules come after top APA officials lost their jobs earlier this month following an independent investigation documenting how the association covered up its close collaboration with officials at the Pentagon and CIA. The new rules will prohibit psychologists from participating in any interrogations that also involve military or intelligence personnel.
