My dream therapist is Dr. Hannibal (the cannibal) Lecter...
Reasons:
- Dr. Lecter studied medicine at one of the top universities in France; he is highly intelligent and a highly experienced psychiatrist.
- Dr. Lecter is particularly qualified to treat victims of trauma as he witnessed the murder of his parents; followed by the cannabilism of his sister, when he was a child.
- Dr. Lecter is a sociopath with strong anti-social tendencies (homocide). He knows what it is to be mentally ill and has suffered, first hand, the associated discrimination and marginalisation (i.e. imprisonment; institutionalisation). - He can relate
- As Dr. Lecter is wanted by the FBI, it is unlikely that he would ever break doctor-patient confidentiality to disclose patient information to the police.
- Dr. Lecter appreciates classical music, as well as fine wine and cuisine.
- Dr. Lecter deals with child-sex offenders by drugging them, and through the power of suggestion, causing them to mutilate themselves.
- As Dr. Lecter's license has been long since revoked, he would have a comparatively short waiting list.
- If Dr. Lecter cannot cure you, he kills you - either way, your suffering is over.
Finally,
- Dr. Lecter eats people who are unpleasant - I have a healthy respect for that.
