En uno de los capítulos, Mayer aporta detalles anteriormente desconocidos sobre el papel de los psicólogos James Mitchell y Bruce Jessen en las brutales y "mejoradas técnicas de interrogatorio". Al parecer esas técnicas se apoyan firmemente en la teoría del "indefensión aprendida" desarrollada por el antiguo Presidente de la Asociación Psicológica Americana [USA] Martin Seligman. (El trabajo de Seligman consistió en atormentar perros con choques eléctricos hasta que eran totalmente incapaces o no estaban dispuestos a salir ellos mismos de la dolorosa situación. De ahí la frase "indefensión aprendida"). Mayer informa, y Seligman lo ha confirmado, que, en 2002, Seligman impartió una clase de tres horas en la escuela de la Marina SERE, en San Diego. SERE es el programa denominado Escape, Resistencia, Evasión y Supervivencia del ejército, que intenta inocular a los pilotos, a las fuerzas especiales y a otros potenciales prisioneros de alto nivel, actitudes contra la tortura en caso de que fueran capturados por un poder que no respeta las Convenciones de Ginebra. Al parecer, por razones que no están claras, no fue la Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA), que dirige ese programa, quien invitó a Seligman a hacer la presentación sino, directamente, la misma Agencia Central de Inteligencia (CIA).

This chapter explores the effects that the torture program had on civil society by exploring its effects on the profession of psychology and on the largest U.S. psychological professional organization, the American Psychological Association (APA). We briefly summarize public knowledge regarding the involvement of psychologists in the CIA and DoD "enhanced interrogation" torture programs. We then describe the public response of the APA as news of this knowledge emerged. However, the public response did not match the APA’s behind-the-scenes actions, as was revealed by a 2015 Independent Review of APA leaders' potential complicity with the torture program conducted by Chicago attorney David Hoffman. The resultant Hoffman Report found a pattern of backchannel collaboration ("collusion"...
