Talk:Clarence Dupré

Dupré's occupation
Just to preemptively answer any questions about why I listed Dupré's occupation as "psychologist" rather than "therapist," "psychotherapist," or "psychiatrist" and changed all occurrences of it on other pages...


 * He's explicitly referred to as "Doctor" by Ethan Mars, Carter Blake, and Norman Jayden, so we can safely assume he has a Ph.D.
 * Therapists don't necessarily need a Ph.D. to practice in their field, and "psychotherapist" is an umbrella term that refers to psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers.
 * Psychiatrists are able to write drug prescriptions, but we never see Dupré doing this in the game.
 * Since we know Dupré has a Ph.D. but we aren't sure whether or not he can prescribe drugs, "psychologist" is the most accurate descriptor for him.

If anyone who thinks about these things the same way I do has questions or disagreements, please let me know. -Mythril Wyrm (talk) 00:48, October 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * I decided to make one more change. There are many different kinds of psychologists, and some only do research. Since Dupré provides therapy, I changed the description of his occupation from "psychologist" to "clinical psychologist" in the infobox. -Mythril Wyrm (talk) 13:34, January 2, 2020 (UTC)
