Puente and Evans adopt a strategy similar to the one that the APA has used in answering their critics over these last many years. In pointing out that changes to the APA's ethics code were, in fact, planned prior to 9/11 (I note again that these changes directed psychologists to adhere to the requirements of the law, regulations, or other governing legal authority rather than to their professional ethical responsibilities), Drs.
