The Nuremburg Trials were an example for all of us. It is shameful that we have to actually discuss this in 2008. We need to also stop psychological abuse utilizing violence and abuse. I have been the recipient of a coercive persuasion program that was endorsed by the local academics. What occurred was so disgusting I had a very hard time speaking about it. I even pleaded for a protective order and received nothing. As I am sure you know, prolonged psychological abuse can be just as lethal and leaves many scars. Please be sure that these forms of abuse are stopped. The APA needs to be outright about this. The Nuremburg Trials were an example for all of us.

Thank you for this trenchant and timely piece, Stephen Soldz.
