Comment by Prof. Jennifer J. Freyd - as one of many reactions from APA's members against two other members', supporting psychologists assist the development of interregation mehods at Guantanamo Bay.

Freyd has conducted research on "Betrayal Trauma" as a phenomena since early -90's, and implement theories on psychological trauma as a very important part of understanding traumatization from human relations.

tortured.  They betray fundamental professional ethics.1  And they betray 
the trust society places in such professionals.2

professionals into those who use their training and skills to design and 
help inflict methods whose reality is masked by euphemisms like "harsh" or
"extreme" can interfere with the ability to reason realistically.5
