False Advertising From the Frankfurter Ring 7

Feb. 18, 2019

In this commercial marketing for these expensive Chuck Spezzano book promotional/"workshop" events, the Frankfurter Ring lies about Chuck's credentials when they describe him as a "psychologist."

 [Update Feb. 26, 2019: Dead link. The event is over but the permanent claim that Chuck is a "psychologist" remains https://www.frankfurter-ring.de/referenten/chuck-spezzano/ ]

-- The ultimate responsibility for correcting this should come down to Chuck himself since he is a regular part of the Frankfurter Ring pool of New Age talent, but FR officers Brita Dahlberg and Corinna Weth among others are also enabling this fraudulent claim and could fix this at any time  https://www.frankfurter-ring.de/team/  Why has this lie been allowed to stand for so long? We sure hope the Hawaii State Dept. of Commerce and Consumer Affairs is paying attention to this http://cca.hawaii.gov/directors-message/ as well as the Honolulu City and County Dept. of the Prosecuting Attorney https://honoluluprosecutor.org/the-prosecutor/ --Chuck is breaking the conditions of his 2004 court fine]

Two of the workshops are called, I kid you not,  "Do you want to be right or happy?" and "Gone stupid."

 The "WooCommerce" at the top margin is an unintended pun. Yes, this is "woo" and it is for-profit commerce, but in reality "WooCommerce" is a Wordpress function.

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" and seems to be unique to the now extinct school he attended. 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:
