Mail order PhDs are not uncommon at CEDU In fact, they are very common at CEDU. Bill Valentine (in charge of parent services PhD) has a mail order Degtee that he braggs about on the CEDU website. I checked. The college doesn't offer the unacredited mail order PhDs anymore.
After meeting him, I couldn't understand how a PhD could be so ignorant - now I know.

As a result of our family's experiences at RMA, not only has my son done well, but I was inspired to change my fown field of interest. I was a biologist and MBA ,and on the basis of my RMA interactions with Bill Valentine and with Mel Wasserman in the last Advanced Workshop that he gave at RMA, I entered the field of psychology. I was just granted my Masters' and am working on my Doctorate, and it is my hope to start a school of my own someday, keeping intact the ideas that Mel and his compatriates developed.

CEDU closing
March 28, 2005
Gentlemen:
I write this with no thought of impressing upon you the impact your abrupt, insensitive and callous handling of the CEDU closure has had on hundreds of families across the country. If you were emotionally capable of being affected by this tragedy you have unleashed, you would have handled the incident compassionately - at least professionally. But then, CEDU, its families and staff have apparently always been just another business for you.
I was not surprised that Bob Naples and the revolving door of outside "experts" ran CEDU into the financial ground. However I was, and am, stunned by the total cowardice displayed by your organization in abandoning unpaid staff to safely see YOUR clients off the campuses and to their homes.
You may have firewalled yourselves from the financial ramifications, but you will forever be the objects of scorn, anger and - perhaps with the passage of time - pity.

try another castle:
Bill was at RMA? When? I don't ever remember him. He must have gotten there in 90 or later. Or... I just don't remember him.
But seriously, this is so fucking great. Self-regulation at its most ridiculous. Fuck it, man, let's just certify ourselves!

Coaching was big in Lifespring

A sponsor’s job is to help guide you through the 12 Steps. A coach’s job is to support you in creating and living a great life. A coach isn’t limited to referring to the steps and traditions of A.A. but can utilize those tools and many others to help you effectively find solutions to everyday occurrences. Coaching focuses your attention on manifesting your dreams and desires to aid you in accessing your highest values.
IS COACHING JUST ANOTHER FORM OF THERAPY?
Coaching was born as a result of great advances in psychotherapy and counseling, then blended with consulting practices and organizational and personal development training trends (such as EST, PSI Seminars, LifeSpring, LandMark Forum, Tony Robbins and others). Coaching takes the best each of these areas has to offer and provides a now standardized and proven method for partnering with people for success.
Unlike therapists, counselors and psychiatrists, Life Coaches focus on making changes for the future, rather than looking into the past to deal with issues or to understand human behavior. Coaching is about deepening the learning, forwarding the action, creating intentions and letting life feel fulfilled.
The ICF is a consortium of professional coaches and organizations that have joined together under it's auspices to shape and govern the profession of coaching. With more than 11,000 members in 82 countries, the skills sets, competencies, ethics and standards are a collective agreement between coaches from all over the world who have made the commitment to maintain the very highest standards you would expect from any other profession.

--- Quote from: ""Roy"" ---Bill Valentine, CEDUs Parent Services Director, claims to have a PhD from Southern California University. I checked it out. It's a distance learning degree in Business and Management, unaccerdited, and currently they don't offer PhDs.
