True to his roots in Kids and Straight, the Wizard got a mail-order PhD from the Union Institute, the same diploma-mill that provided former Straight Clinical Director and boss of Kids, Miller Newton, with his. Additionally, the Union Institute provided at least three folks to testify (can I get an amen) about AARC to Diane Mirosh in the early nineties, in order to conjure up some Alberta government dosh. Later, Union puked up the non-Doctor Michael Patton, who rubber-stamped AARC's fake study a couple of years back. I came across this hilarious little tidbit on Union's website. It is of interest, as I heard from a charming AARColyte that Natalie Oldcomer is currently doin' her cypherin' and readin' to get her a PhD paper.
F. Dean Vause Ph.D.
is executive director of the
Alberta Adolescent Recovery
Centre (AARC), a center in
Calgary, Alberta that reaches out
to teens with addiction issues.
Vause has developed the AARC
model and fills the additional
roles of clinical director and
front line therapist. He is also
actively involved in raising funds
for scholarships that will enable
select peer counselors from
AARC to enroll in Union
Institute & University's highly
specialized baccalaureate program
with a concentration in
alcohol and drug counseling and
treatment center management.
So, Dean-o takes money that suckers, I mean concerned citizens, provide to AARC and flips it back to Union. Union provides Dean-O with fake doctors who testify as to the immense healing powers of Dean-o and AARC. What a tidy little circle.
