There's obviously nothing even remotely humorous about any of that. But despite the convincing evidence of Dr. Leso's wrongdoing, late last month the APA decided that no formal action should be taken against him for ethics violations. That's why I assume Ms. Farberman must be joking when she says, "APA will not tolerate psychologist participation in torture." It's kind of like the time several years ago when Stephen Behnke, the director of APA's ethics office, pulled our legs and promised, "When we have the facts, we will act on them. And if individuals who are members of our association have acted inappropriately, the APA will address those very directly and very clearly."
