Chuck Spezzano is not a psychologist -- "Even Chuck himself says that his Psychology is a hoax" (Desktop version of this blog is more detailed)

False advertising from the Frankfurter Ring 1
In this commercial marketing of a Chuck Spezzano event, the Frankfurter Ring yet again makes the claim that Chuck Spezzano is a "psychologist."
I also notice this particular "workshop" includes yoga. Please tell me someone is going to film Chuck performing yoga exercises. I might even pay to watch that!

Well, yet again we must point out this is false advertising.
Spezzano's 1977 Ph.D. was apparently in something exotic called "Professional Psychology." It was not accredited by the APA, which means his diploma bypassed any sort of national standard. Even in Germany this should disqualify him from being called a "psychologist."
In addition, Spezzano was fined by the State of Hawaii in 2004 for impersonating a professional. He is not licensed and is not even remotely qualified to practice professional psychology even if he applied. He has NEVER worked as a licensed "psychologist." His credentials have been inflated and falsified for years, starting with his own newspaper advertisements in the 1980s. Here are some links to some primary sources of interest so you can see the evidence:

The Frankfurter Ring has a very long history of lying about Spezzano's credentials. Brita Dahlberg herself was once a POV official, so she should know better.

The Spezzano-Dahlberg relationship and their joint responsibility for posting all these fake credentials year after year (in the past FR has called Spezzano a "Clininical Psychologist") smacks of the New Age version of old-fashioned business cronyism.
