INTRODUCTION
In November 2014, the Board of Directors of the APA
engaged our Firm to conduct an independent review of allegations that had been made regarding
APA’s issuance of ethical guidelines in 2002 and 2005, and related actions. These ethical
guidelines determined whether and under what circumstances psychologists who were APA
members could ethically participate in national security interrogations.
The gist of the allegations was that APA made these ethics policy decisions as a
substantial result of influence from and close relationships with the U.S. Department of Defense
(DoD), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and other government entities, which purportedly
wanted permissive ethical guidelines so that their psychologists could continue to participate in
harsh and abusive interrogation techniques being used by these agencies after the September 11
attacks on the United States. Critics pointed to alleged procedural irregularities and suspicious
outcomes regarding APA’s ethics policy decisions and said they resulted from this improper
coordination, collaboration, or collusion. Some said APA’s decisions were intentionally made to
assist the government in engaging in these “enhanced interrogation techniques.” Some said they
were intentionally made to help the government commit torture.
Allegations along these lines had been most recently and most prominently made in a
book by New York Times reporter James Risen, published in October 2014, based in part on new
evidence he had obtained. Such allegations had also been made for many years—since APA’s
issuance of ethical guidelines in 2005—by numerous APA critics both within and without APA.
APA engaged us to look back at these events that occurred years ago, to conduct a
“definitive” and “thorough” investigation into the allegations and all relevant evidence, and to
report what happened and why. The APA Board instructed us to go “wherever the evidence
leads” and to be completely independent…
