Spezzano & Associates - "Psychologist" Facebook page

Feb. 25, 2019

Due to all the misinformation and outright lies out there regarding the Spezzanos supposedly being "psychologists," Facebook generated a page identifying them as such. Instead of claiming the page and correcting it, Psychology of Vision has picked up the fable and is running with it.

Of course they are. Business is business and ethics is ethics and in POV never the twain shall meet. And so, in recognition of their role in enabling the "psychologist" lie, we induct the following contributors into Chuck Spezzano's Army of Liars, which is a rather large group:

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:
