It looks like Prof. Goltra earned her own doctorate from California Graduate Institute, discussed above. For $60, you can still buy a copy of her dissertation from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Raylene-D-Goltra/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n:283155,p_27:Raylene D. Goltra

Here's the Wiki on California Graduate Institute - the school where internal disagreement gave rise to ABSI. CGI and Chicago School of Professional Psychology merged in 2008. Strangely, no mention of the "accreditation war" cited by poster "Atomicshrink." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Graduate_Institute

No. It's nothing. ABSI closed in 2003. No merger, no anything.
