• Is Patric Gagne a pseudonym?

    No. Patric’s legal name is Patricia Cagle Gagne.

  • Did Patric Gagne earn her degrees at an online school?

    No. In pursuit of her master’s and doctorate, Patric did not take a single online class (though she would have if she’d had the option because that sounds like an incredible way to earn a degree).

  • Why can’t I find any published papers written by Patric Gagne?

    Because she didn’t write any. Patric is a terrible rule follower and writing research papers requires discipline, skill, and patience she doesn’t have. (It’s a miracle she finished her dissertation.)

  • Why can’t I find Patric Gagne’s dissertation online?

    Patric Gagne earned her doctorate many, many years ago, at a time when online publishing wasn’t required by her graduate school. However — should you fancy a trip — she was required to furnish a bound copy to the CGI campus library.

  • Is Patric Gagne a licensed psychologist?

    No. Patric Gagne is not a licensed psychologist.

  • Is the school where Patric Gagne earned her PhD accredited?

    Yes, although it should be noted that the APA is a professional accreditation service. Accreditation can be (but is not always) relevant in determining where someone is able to work and/or whether someone can be approved for licensure, but it does not determine whether a degree is valid.

  • In the book Patric mentions her first semester at UCLA, but that university has been on the quarter system since 1966. What gives?

    The author acknowledges she totally forgot and blew it (and encourages anyone who noticed this error to consider a career in editing because you are incredible).

  • Who designed the book jacket?

    The book jacket was designed by Rodrigo Corral.

  • Is there a list of the research Patric references in her book?

    Yes. Scroll down.
