Academic background

Kaczynski holds a Bachelor of Science degree, master's degrees, and a PhD in social psychology from Wayne State University. He has held positions as assistant professor at Wayne State School of Medicine, research associate and affiliate at Yale University's Department of Psychiatry.[4] He was also an adjunct instructor of orthodontics at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry.[5]

He has published dozens of articles in academic peer-reviewed journals in areas ranging from national program evaluation of comprehensive work therapy, and multi-site clinical trials of treatment efficacy for bipolar disorder (STEP-BD), schizophrenia (CATIE) and Alzheimer's (CATIE).[6]

Metaphysical background

Kaczynski has been a student of Thelema since 1977, and a lecturer on magick since 1990.[7] Within OTO he has been a very active member, and has done editorial duties on several publications including Neshamah[8] and the proceedings books for its US biennial national conference. He appeared on Canada's Drew Marshall radio show on June 25, 2011, where he was described as the "world’s leading expert on Aleister Crowley" [9]
