Abstract: | Comments on a note from Dr. Frederick C. Thorne appearing in the March issue of American Psychologist (1956, 11, 152), entitled "Psychologists, Heal Thyselves!" Thorne's note addressed the handling by the American Psychological Association of ethics cases involving individual members. Here, the current author seeks to present the application and enforcement of the ethical code by the Association as a much less moralistic, judgmental, and punitive process than Thorne portrays it.
