Solomon Archer, Ph.D.

Solomon Archer is a pseudonym created for protective purposes. The author of PsyKu is an actual criminal psychologist. He received his doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin with a focus on behavior pathology. He completed his forensic internship through the Medical College of Ohio and Court Diagnostic and Treatment Center in Ohio where he specialized in working with low-functioning sex offenders and treatment with probationed and paroled offenders.  

He continued his work with the mentally ill criminal population through his forensic post-doctoral fellowship in the Pretrial Unit at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina with a focus on competency and sanity evaluations. 

His career path subsequently branched out to the prison system, where he has worked for well over a decade. The author is currently the Chief Psychologist of the [REDACTED] State Department of Corrections. He spends much of his time working with serious and dangerously mentally ill offenders, some of whom are not so disorganized that they couldn't figure out a way to free themselves from their restraints and stab him in the head with an altered food tray. (Incidentally, the going rate for shanking a psychologist is two pounds of coffee and three bags of Top tobacco. You know, just in case you were curious).
