In 2008, the APA received a petition for a resolution condemning the employment of psychologists in institutions where people are detained in violation of the U.S. Constitution or international law. Resnick wrote the con statement to that petition, expressing concern that the petition was too broad and that it would be difficult to determine which settings violated the resolution.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.apa.org/news/press/statements/work-settings-con.aspx )〕 The resolution was subsequently approved following a vote of the organization's membership.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.apa.org/news/press/statements/work-settings.aspx )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert J.
