The European enablers

Django Hediger's promotional website for Chuck Spezzano makes the false claim that the object of his worship earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology:

Part of his website lists other Spezzano promoters in Europe who also make false claims as they merchandise Spezzano's book tours/lectures, such as Chuck is a world renowned "psychologist," and repeat the "clinical psychologist" degree claim.

In truth, Spezzano's degree was not accredited by the APA, meaning that it failed to experience a test of national standards, meaning that even by European standards just possessing a degree with the word "psychology" in it does not a "psychologist" make.

The exact nature of Spezzano's Ph.D. is a bit murky, but it appears his degree was something exotic called "Professional Psychology":

And let us remember Spezzano was fined by the State of Hawaii for posing as a professional:

Anyway, the next time you read one of the following enablers marketing Spezzano as a "psychologist" or having a degree in "Clinical Psychology," speak up and let them know they are spreading false advertising. Better yet, complain to your government consumer protection officials.

Here is the roster of organizations that need to retract their advertising and probably refund the money to customers who believed they were seeing a true professional when in fact they were spending big bucks to see an old charlatan:

An International Law Enforcement Consultant are able to address these kind of fraudulent activities.Misconceptions and false identities for profit would seem serious for these venues and promoters of Chuck Spezzano's business. Notifying these parties and updating them on Chuck's status is a good idea!

The amount of lies spread by these marketers is staggering. POV is built on a foundation of outright falsehood.

It would appear Basler Psi-Verein has not booked Chuck Spezzano for 2017 or 2018

Spezzano has not been on the BPV roster for quite some time. How come?
