Doktortitel in "Klinischer Psychologie" part 2

 Oct. 2015

The Basler Psi-Verein Youtube channel offers a variety of presentations by various New Age figures, including Chuck Spezzano. The Spezzano "True Love" video includes this introduction:


"Dr. Chuck Spezzano hat einen Magister in Soziologie und erwarb seinen Doktortitel in Klinischer Psychologie in San Diego, Kalifornien. Von 1973 bis 1979 war er als Psychologe am "United States Naval Drug Rehabilitation Center" tätig und erzielte beachtliche Erfolge bei der Behandlung der Kriegstraumata von Vietnam-Veteranen. Anschließend arbeitete er in der Paar- und Familienberatung. In über dreißig Jahren intensiver Arbeit und Forschung entwickelte er zusammen mit seiner Frau Lency die bahnbrechende therapeutische Heilmethode der "Psychologie der Vision®", die Verbindung der klassischen Psychologie mit spirituellen Prinzipien. Sie führt die Menschen über innerpsychische Konfl ikte hinaus zu wahrer Kreativität und einem sinnerfüllten Leben"

What is interesting is that this same introduction was used, almost word for word, by the very new Hediger website promoting Chuck Spezzano:

In both cases, it is misleading to say Spezzano earned an academic degree in clinical psychology. His actual degree was in "Professional Psychology" according to his thesis title page. It was not accredited by the APA and appears to be more liberal-arts oriented than medical:

This is a pretty serious case of false advertising. Why does Spezzano allow it to stand?

Communication with BPV resulted in them calling this exposure "ridiculous" and they seem just fine with being associated with spreading a falsehood
