It's a big achievement, of course. But on your CV? No. I fail to see how you could convey the lengths you went to in dealing with a bad adviser in a brief, tactful way on a CV. Nor would I want to; seems like it could easily backfire.

Exactly. Replace "advisor" with "boss", and see how it works out. It might be a good life experience for the OP, but putting it on a CV? No way. I wouldn't even mention in conversation the true explanation for quitting or switching advisors, unless it were a close friend who was genuinely interested in hearing the details --- for anyone else, a generic, "we had different artistic visions".
