The Truth about Chuck And Lency Spezzano And The Psychology of Vision, Pt. 13
Quote
What Happened in 2004 with The State of Hawaii Regarding Chuck’s Status As A Psychologist?
Nothing at all. We were marginally involved with a custody battle many years before, in that we wrote letters of support for a woman in relation to the child custody case with her ex-husband. The ex-husband’s lawyer claimed that, because our Psychology of Vision logo was on our stationary, that the logo meant we were both claiming to be licensed psychologists; so the judge ruled our letters were inadmissible, even though Chuck signed his letter “Chuck Spezzano, Ph.D., M.F.C.C.” and I signed “Lency Spezzano, M.Sc.” As it turned out, our letters did not figure into the final outcome, because the judge ruled in favor of the wife anyway.
This unfortunate episode is apparently much more involved than the brief and uncaring brushoff given here by Lenora Kay Spezzano--

Hey, a guy died here by his own hand way too young. And he accused the Spezzanos of lying. I think Steve Tipaldi deserves a bit more consideration than the nonchalant disregard exhibited here by Lenora.
The question among the SALPOV watchers on whether Lenora lives in a world of delusion or is indeed a true con artist remains open.

It is pretty clear Chuck Spezzano has no qualms about being presented as a "psychologist," even when his own trainers do so.

Tipaldi said Chuck Spezzano claimed in his letter he examined him (Tipaldi) and submitted a detrimental evaluation. This is problematic for two reasons: First, Spezzano is not a psychologist, and second, Steve says Spezzano never examined him yet lied about having done so. If Steve's account is correct, that is a rather serious charge which Lency did not address.
One ripple effect here was that Chuck Spezzano was indeed fined by the State of Hawaii in 2004 for pretending to be a psychologist.
Such a sad case for everyone involved but it was one of the very few times POV was forced to deal with the consequences of their actions even though they refused to accept any responsibility.
