Charles A. Morgan, III

Charles A. Morgan, III is an American psychiatrist who has studied posttraumatic stress disorder.^[1][2] He is a researcher with the National Center for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder whose has worked on how stress interacts with the neurobiological basis of hardiness and resilience.

Morgan has been a faculty member at Yale University and the National Center for PTSD.^[1][2]

Morgan has written over 100 peer reviewed science papers about PTSD and the nature of acute stress on human cognition and military performance.^[1][2] Morgan's research has been conducted, in part, at military training sites (such as Survival School) because, unlike traditional laboratory settings, these venues offer an opportunity to evaluate the impact of realistic stress SERE. Survival School is a formal type of military training designed to prepare individuals to survive in the wild and to adhere to the US military code of conduct if captured by enemy forces.^[3][4][5][6]

In a June 2007 article on the adoption of Soviet extended interrogation methods by American interrogators the New York Times quoted Morgan: ^[7]

“How did something used as an example of what an unethical government would do become something we do?”

Morgan has been identified as a researcher with connections to the CIA ^[1][2] and the so-called "enhanced interrogation" program of the CIA. ^[8]. Documentary evidence of his CIA affiliation, denied by Morgan, can be found at list of participants of 2004 DoJ/FBI conference where his is listed as CIA participant along with Robert Mericsko.^[9] According to Morgan the American Psychological Association apologized for listing him as a CIA researcher .^{[citation needed]}
