CANTON - Stephen Soldz, past-president of Psychologists for Social Responsibility, will give a talk called "Healers or Tormenters? Psychologists, Torture and the National Security State" Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 4:30 p.m. in Room 10 of Carnegie Hall at St. Lawrence University.
The event is open to the public, free of charge.
After 9/11, the United States government embarked upon a program of "enhanced interrogation" that met the traditional legal standard of "torture."
Psychologists were central to development of the program, designing, implementing and researching the interrogation techniques while providing a legal shield against future prosecutions or actions for violating professional ethics.
A movement arose among psychologists to oppose this collusion of their professional association and Soldz was among its leaders.
