The entire report and supplementary material is available at http://www. apa.org/independent-review/, as is a revised version and errata sheet submitted by Mr. Hoffman on September 4, 2015. The first 72 pages of the document contain the executive summary of the report. As most members of Division 5 know by now, the IR reviewed actions taken by the senior staff and leadership of APA, in collusion with members of the Department of De- fense (DOD), during the first half of 2005. These actions resulted in the issuance of loose, high-level ethical guidelines that: 1. Permitted military psychologists to participate in detainee interrogations, and 2. Did not constrain the application of existing DOD guidelines which allowed the William Revelle use of techniques that would be construed as torture under the UN Convention Against Torture.

DIVISION OF ADULT DEVELOPMENT AND AGING A Division of the American Psychological Association PAST PERSPECTIVES 2 THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIVISION 20 by Betty Ann Birren and Liz Stine-Morrow (August, 1996) The American Psychological Association as we know it today, structured as a collection of special interest divisions, was formed in 1945 at the end of WWII. It contained 19 charter divisions. Division 20, which turned out to be the first expansion division of APA, was the inspiration of Sidney Pressey. In July 1945, he asked eight psychologists whether they thought that an APA division dealing with aging would be "desirable." They agreed that it would, and sent a petition to almost 600 APA members whom they thought might also be interested. This group (Pressey, Conrad, Lorge, Lehman, Lawton, Buhler, Kuhlen, Miles, and Wechsler) also published a statement about a potential new division on adulthood and old age in the Psychological Bulletin.
