Last time I checked I found no apology on Dr Tony Attwood's home page, and no apology on what appears to be Dr. Isabelle Hénault's practice's web page (mostly in French). Oh gosh.

As an Aussie, I must say I do feel ashamed that these capers have been going on here.

Here is a quote from the web page of the Australian clinic which Dr Henault has apparently practiced at and has an ongoing invovement:

"Dr Isabelle Hénault, is a psychologist from the University of Québec at Montréal, Canada."

Is she from the university or is it only the case that her doctorate is from the university? It's really quite an important difference. I'd have higher expectations of a professional who is currently appointed to an academic post at a university. I couldn't find a listing for her in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Quebec at Montreal.

I've noticed that Dr Attwood is described as "Professor Tony Attwood" at the web page of the aforementioned Australian clinic where he apparently practices. Is it really correct for an Adjunct Associate Professor to use the title of "Professor"? I couldn't find any listing for Dr Attwood in the Griffith University's phone book.
