False advertising from Verlagsgruppe Random House GmbH 5

In this commercial marketing for a book by Chuck Spezzano, Verlagsgruppe Random House GmbH yet again makes the claim that Chuck Spezzano earned a Ph.D. in "clinical psychology" and worked as a "psychologist."

And 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:

Wulfing von Rohr, Spezzano's frequent translator who apparently had some other business ties with POV, once described Chuck as "an American psychologist" in one of his books:
