On Thursday Jan 18, during the Winter 2007 Meeting of the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA) in New York, the organization's Board of Directors approved a position statement strongly condemning the use of torture. In doing so, APsaA joins with other mental health and medical professional organizations in their stance on this issue.
As an organization of psychoanalysts who have devoted their lives to helping people undo the effects of trauma in their lives, APsaA strongly protests any governmentally administered and governmentally approved torture of people who are detained. Torture degrades those tortured and those torturing. The effects of that physical and moral degradation, we know, are transmitted to the families and offspring of both victims and perpetrators.
APsaA also strongly condemn the participation or oversight by any mental health or medical personnel in any and all aspects of torture. Such actions are contrary to the basic ethical principles fundamental to the helping professions.
Epidemiological studies describing population characteristics which collect data at one point in time and then consider relationships between observed characteristics.. Because they don't look at time trends they cannot establish causes.
