Isn’t it true that APA’s prohibitions against torture apply only when psychologists act as health service providers?
A. No, this is precisely the position rejected by the APA’s Task Force on Psychological Ethics and National Security (PENS) in its June 2005 report. Also, both the 2006 and 2007 APA resolutions emphasize that the prohibitions against torture and abuse apply to psychologists in all settings and in all roles.
