Action Pi (or Action Pie, both names appear), a Chinese enterprise, pretty much gets everything wrong about the history of Psychology of Vision, including that Chuck Spezzano is an "internationally renowned psychologist" and POV is "scientific psychology" instead of the New Age cult that it is. Was this a connection Spezzano made through Michael North, a Canadian capitalist in Hawaii who has also erroneously called Spezzano a "psychologist"?

Here is a recent article from the Tuna Business Review translated title: Action and Knowledge Economy: The Practical Case of "Strategic Five Steps" #2/. It does shed some light on how POV managed to be included in the Action Pi curriculum:

Speaking of China, I am reminded of a 2011 quote from Lency Spezzano regarding her attitude toward Chinese students of POV:
My husband and I are currently working with a group of 90 people in Guangzhou China. Most of them are beginners to my work, so it will be interesting to see how far I can get with them. They are keen to get enlightened, but their level of maturity is low.

Unbelievable. Well, actually, too believable I'm afraid.
Back to Action Pi-- there is much more. We are graphically treated to the methods used in China by POV in this source. One wonders about the financial connection with the Spezzanos here. Most interesting. Three POV trainers from Japan show up in this article. Read and enjoy:
