In this review of a Chuck Spezzano/Janie Patrick (Ticehurst) book, Intuitives Feng Shui says Chuck has a Ph.D. in "Clinical Psychology."

Yet again we must point out this is false advertising. Falsifying Chuck Spezzano's credentials in marketing seems to be the rule rather than exception, especially in European merchandising of POV literature and events. The Spezzanos have allowed this to spread-- much to their economic advantage. Sitting by and passively letting these falsehoods become so widespread year after year to their financial benefit is ultimately the responsibility of Chuck and Lency Spezzano.
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 Europe this should disqualify him from being called a "psychologist." Both of the Spezzanos are on record saying Chuck is not 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" or published any research in peer-reviewed journals that we can locate. His credentials have been inflated and falsified for decades, 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:

It is fitting this particular Spezzano/Ticehurst book follows a review of the Louise Hay work on the same topic, which predates Spezzano/Ticehurst. Parts of the Spezzano/Ticehurst text echo Hay's efforts to the point of near-plagiarism (as documented elsewhere on our blog), yet Spezzano/Ticehurst did not have the courtesy to mention Hay's name in their book.
