False advertising from Buchhandlung Schmidt 62


In this commercial marketing for a Chuck Spezzano book, Buchhandlung Schmidt says Spezzano has a Ph.D. in "Clinical Psychology," has worked as a "psychologist," and not only that but is an "internationally renowned psychologist."

[Update Mar. 17, 2020: Bogus credentials have been removed, publisher-supplied fable of  "internationally renowned psychologist" remains]

[Update 2: Jan. 28, 2021, this ad is now entirely cleaned of lies concerning Spezzano's credentials]

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." 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:
