Rally Against Pro Torture APA Policy

This Friday, critics of current American Psychological Association guidelines that allow psychologist participation in inhumane interrogation and indefinite detention are staging a rally in San Fransisco. The event-- held on the eve of the annual APA conference-- will feature an array of interesting speakers including Steven Soldz of Psyche, Science, and Society and Neil Altman-- author of the proposed APA moratorium banning psychologist participation in torture. If you are unfamiliar with the unfolding scandal between APA leadership and its members, see this new Salon article by Mark Benjamin or read Valtin's recent round-up.
