notability Books date August 2010 orphan date November 2008 University of Psychogenic Fugue , sometimes abbreviated to UPF , is a satirical humor book in the form of a parody college course catalog for a fictional American University written by Tye R Farrell and Jeffrey Morrow. It was published by Meteorite Press in 2002. Its subtitle is A Course Catalog for Students of Life .
