Paul Valliant

About Paul

My HBA degree in psychology was completed at Laurentian University in 1974. I decided to undertake my M.A. degree at Lakehead University because of their renowned faculty members. After completing my degree in 1976 at Lakehead, I commenced my Ph.D. at the University of Windsor. Having a strong background from two excellent Northern Ontario Universities easily allowed me to complete my PhD in 1978. I commenced teaching at St. Mary's Univeristy in Halifax on a sabbatical replacement position. Then I relocated to Bishops University for a one-year contractual position. I learned of a Forensic Psychology Position opening at the North Bay Psychiatric Hospital and accepted employment in 1980. While at this institution I assisted in developing the Forensic Evaluation Unit. In 1981, I was asked to apply for a position at Laurentian University. This contract involved teaching, research, and working part-time as a Clinical Psychologist at Cecil Facer School. When my contract with Cecil Facer ended, I accepted full time employment in the Psychology department at Laurentian. My research specialties include Aging, Forensic Issues, and Sports Psychology.
