Ed: omg is not good

Eli:que piensas hacerca del objeto real de la psicología?what do you think should be the main goal
of psycology, in general
Ed: The psychology, as a science that treats behaviour and mental procceses on the self and
relates to all the conditions of human existance, should worry more for human integrity. There are
deonthological codes and ethic perspectives that attempts to regulate the profesional practices
among psycholpogists.
Eli: i agree ....That been said, we can now contextualize the attrocities done by the APA and the
systematic violation of ethical codes. The Hoffman report details the commented collusion between
the national security groups in the states and the APA, as well as their modus operandi regarding
those violations.

Ed: talk me the especifics about the situation?


Eli: Obama acknowlodged that after 9/11, things went terrible wrong and some mistakes were
made when it came to interrogation tecniques’ improvement.
on behalf of war on terror, thousends of civilians were subject of torture on the prison complexes,
from guantanamo bay to the dungueons of Abu Ghraib on irak and in the air base of Bagram on
afghanistan.
The APA published a stonishing report where they admitted a conspired colussion with the
Department of Defense of EE UU to manipulate and control the policies, meetings and personel so
their activities were approved by the directive board as well to get approval on congress regarding
the torture program from the CIA.

Eli:have you heart the news about torture.?


Ed: yess i have.the Types of torture applied were: Rectal feeding, drowning simulation, sensory
deprivation, induced mental breakdowns, verbal abuses, among others.

Edna:what is the conclutión of the hoftman report?

The Hoffman report appoints a whole new variety of activities that could be considered as treason,
witch were rejected on the oficial report from the APA.
The report exposed mainly the conspiracy been held between the directive board and
representatives of the intelligence agencies from Bush goverment, Department of Defense and the
CIA.

Eli:whats is your final point of view about this?

Psychology must be a tool on the service of common wellcare and human rights.
Psychology torture is one of the most heinous forms of torture as can leave permanent marks on
the mental health of its subjects.
