Small, but important point: There are two APAs: 1. American Psychological Association - PhD/PsyD Psychologists - (torture scandal) 2. American Psychiatric Association - MD/DO Physicians - (unambiguously opposed to medical involvement in torture) People get psychiatrists and psychologists confused all the time, and the distinction here is really, really important. Bias: I'm a psychiatrist, and I am proud that our professional organization has been clear from the start that torture is unacceptable.
