While the picture above is relatively old, by several years, should this man, Bruce Martin Whealton, Jr.,  ask you for a donation under the pretense of needing to pay college loans, for housing, computer needs, etc, be assured not one dime of your funds are going to a needy cause.  They are going to a man that has been attempting to con people and organizations for a long time.  In some cases he has been successful.  In others he has not. An example of this is as a formerly licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of North Carolina he had sex with one of his clients that has Dissociative Identity Disorder, former called "Multiple Personality Disorder".  He then billed her insurance company for this "service" as a "therapy session".  This and other cunning behaviors with his clients resulted in his license being revoked, five clinical malpractice suits, and several incarcerations.

Bruce Whealton's license to practice as a licensed Social Worker (therapist) in the State of North Carolina was revoked on the 14th of June, 2001. .

Bruce Martin Whealton attempts to file false charges of rape against 3 people.   The police report states that the DA's office would not even consider filing charges against these 3 people.  They were former clients and/or relatives and friends of former clients of Bruce Whealton.

 North Carolina Board of Social Workers and the State Attorney General's Office ordered Bruce M. Whealton to undergo a pyschological evaluation in the process of revoking his license to practice as a Social Worker within the State of North Carolina.  Here is the documented summary of that evaluation, which is a public record in the Consent Order which Revokes his license;

"Dr. David Ziff conducted a psychological evaluation of the Respondent, including psychological testing, which indicated (1) the possibility of significant suicidal tendencies; (2) the possibility of a schizophrenia spectrum disorder indicated by poor reality testing and disordered thinking; (3) the possibility of affected disorder; (4) difficulties in planning and decision making due to poor reality testing, disordered thinking, stress overload, and lack of a consistent problem solving skill: (5) difficulties balancing one's own needs versus those of others with the possibility of hostile and manipulative behavior towards others; (6) a generalized lack of skill and empathy in social relationships.
"A psychosocial assessment conducted by Dr. Jay Williams concluded with the recommendation that Respondent not practice psychotherapy without first undergoing intensive, long-term psychotherapy with a well-qualified therapist or if he does practice psychotherapy he should have weekly individual supervision with a well-qualified therapist."

My name is (omitted).  I am a former client of Bruce Whealton.   Mr. Whealton has setup an email account in my name ad has been posting material on the Internet related to John Friefeld, using my name and email address, without consent to do so.  Bruce Whealton has stated things about Mr. Freifeld in these post , pretending to be me that I have never said to Mr. Whealton, and things that Mr. Freifeld never said to me.  The printed out posts of these statements are attached.

Mr. Whealton has been stalking Mr. Freifeld on the Internet, and physically, going so far as to take pictures of Mr. Freifeld's home and following Mr. Freifeld around Wilmington, NC.  He has also been calling and harassing Mr. Freifeld on the telephone to my knowledge.  Many people have advised Bruce to not continue this behavior but he has not and will not listen to anyone.

I want this man out of my house but every time I try to get him out he threatens to have me committed.  He threatened to have me committed when I first attempted to file a complaint against him with the Board in early January, 2001.  I feared he would be able to do this because of him being a licensed therapist, so I didn't file the complaint at that time.  I am still scared that he will do this to me, and there is no reason for me to be committed anywhere.  I need help with getting qualified counseling and with getting Mr. Whealton out of my house without him being able to commit me in a hospital for trying to kick him out.  I am going to file a complaint with your office and it will outline exactly what has transpired since I became Bruces client to current date.

The above document, which I have a hard copy of, was sent to the Attorney Generals Office and to Mr. Whealton's Licensing Board.  Due to (omitted's) limitations regarding her vision and computer illiteracy this document was sited by (omitted) verbally and typed out in front of the public notary, the public notary read it to her and asked if there was anything would like to add or subtract from it and was told "No", then she endorsed with her notary seal.

Bruce Martin Whealton has a long history of "Psychological Hostage Taking".

Through the use of Hypnosis, Bruce Whealton, who is Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist with the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH).   Deliberately and Diabolically implanted False Memories of a variety of childhood abuses in former clients he was "treating".  These false memories included, but were not limited to, Satanic Ritual Abuse and Government Mind Control Experiments.   The motive behind this was to keep his clients destablized to such a degree that it ensured their dependency solely on himself and their ongoing need for his brand of "psycho"-therapy.  Not unlike others who are held captive long enough, and brainwashed or mentally programmed by senory deprivation, hypnosis, being raped, allenated from family and friends, ect. (such as Patty Hearst in the 1970's who adopted the cause of her captors after undergoing these elements of abuse) Bruce Whealton would manipulate his clients mental capacity to such a degree that they came to believe his distorted versions of their histories and take on his cause against "them".  "Them" being anyone that stood to challenge or question what was happening in their therapy or challenge his knowledge and experience in the treatment of their disorder.  In this process, many relationships were destroyed between the clients and their families and friends.

Bruce Martin Whealton attempts to portray himself as wanting to validate one of his clients memories with the following statement in an email to her dated Dec. 17th 1999.

"Perhaps, your father has enough remorse and guilt to tell what he knows... especially if we told him we need assurances of whether you are at any risk or not.  Unless he is still active with the Network or the Cult (whatever we call this organization including the CIA) then his self- destruct program will have not had reinforcement, so it may seem like bad things will happen to him at his own hands but that probably won't happen."

In short what he is saying above to this client with a severe mental disorder is: "If you so much as mention this to your father he might commit suicide"... what a way to encourage a client with a mental disorder to validate their memories, isn't it?
