      I've listened to a psychologist just basically agree with everything a borderline/NPD client said, appeared to have no clue as to their diagnosis (it was ridiculously obvious) and their advice was along the lines of "you should treat yourself well" ect, that is all NPDs do, it's other people they don't treat so well. Of course they may have realised the diagnosis, knew there was little they could do for this person (they lie to psychologists ect for starters) and so just said what this person wanted to hear till they went away. That would bring up issues too though.

Too many people get away with blatantly spewing bullshit, just because they're an "expert", and people just eat away at it because they don't know any better.

Just like how they created the version of their mascot in as [censored: circus performer with red nose, painted face, and large shoes]. Instead of going with the iconic red hair for [censored: that infamous frog in circus employee atire] they went with rainbow so it would be associated with the pride flag when the meme inevitably gets labeled a hate symbol by the normies. 4chan is pretty good at predicting normie emotional reactions.

      What "clear understanding of the human mind" do you mean?
      The actual Gert (very different from Dankulas story) was not a master manipulator face to face.
      He just took advantage of the fact, that the cold war was ending and east-german autorities were totaly collapsing under the weight or work the collapse of the eastern block put onto them.
      He then made up his references in west-germany and gave addresses of himself or friends, so he could answer all letters asking about his references. The east-german authorities simply did not have the ressources to check for correlation between the references and the given addresses.
      Thats why it worked there and in west germany he always got caught and sentenced when he tried to pull a stunt like this.
      After that he just plagiarized west german works that he presented in lectures in east-germany (he did not, how Dankula claimed, just make stuff up) and when he had to prescribe treatment to patience, he would do the old "Dear colleague, I always like to get a unbiased second opinion before i prescibe a treatment"-trick.
      There is actually no real "understanding of the human mind and (...) mastery of its exploitation" there, he just exploited how overworked the east-german authorities were.

      he really does and he knows it which brings also his bad traits to light. I binged some of his interviews ( I'm german) and you get really quick how knowledgeable he is. Listening to him can be very captivating but it can turn into being uncomfortable. Depends mostly on the interviewer and the wording of the questions. There is one in which he is interviewed by a young woman who usually interviews german rappers since it's for an rap magazine. He's trolling her too. It's funny, interesting and sometimes painful to watch. As the conversation progresses he is less harder on her, because he considered she's an intelligent, decent and honest person. He can get really nasty if a 'dumb' journalist sits in front of him. But he has not to be since he's very intelligent, but that's exactly were his emotions and ego come into play. My two cents of a very interesting individual. Thank you for reading

He was so good at it that one of his forgeries was actually thought to be the best painting of the artist he imitated and made it to the cover of an art magazine.

    Postel has much more jokes and crazy storys when he is telling it.
    A jung woman who had a mental breakdown and became his patient. He just told her that’s normal in these circumstances and has sent her home.
    A big difficulty in his trial was that he assisted in many trials himself as appraiser for the mental state of the offenders. But he was praised for that work too and they couldn’t find much reason for resettlement’s of these cases.
    Also he was kind of disappointed that he got through so far. One of the reasons why he tried to escalate and talked to the minister, mentioned in this video.
    When they showed him in TV he was appalled that they got so many things wrong.
    And as a final joke he tells you after his talks, not to believe everything he just told you because he is a pathological liar after all. 😆

      The way he handled it was by stopping a large scale escape attempt by the inmates (which he instigated/faked). That way he got out of the situation of being in charge of the clinic, which he thought was above his ability to fake, and he got commended for his vigilance by his superiors^^

    On his shirt he wrote his name inside a rectangle.

Either by someone challenging the nonsense coming out of his mouth, or noticing him using vaguery to speak around subjects instead of attempting to make a point.
      Gert is supporting evidence to the non-scientific nature of psychiatry, right along side the fact that it produces nearly ZERO scientific studies that are repeatable by other scientists.

      He never really outsmarted anyone at their own game, what he actually did was fake a shitton of evidence that he was really a doctor, by fabricating other false identities, that verified his claims (some allegedly played by friends of him, though nobody has been convicted). He even made up a prosecutor more than once, claiming to be investigating him, to keep medical personel from reporting him.
      And he never actually met the Pope. That is a claim he made, that has been disprooven literally hours after he made it, cause the Pope was in a different country on the date he gave for the private meeting.
      Dankula got a lot wrong here and overhyped this person a lot sadly. It was impressive how he managed to get into medical positions again and again (even though he was caught multiple times), but he was not half as good as Dankula makes him out to be.

      Germany is actually famous for the oposite. German universities take way more steps to find plagiarism than any other european (and we don't need to talk about the US, they barely do anything in comparison :D) country.
      Germany is literally one of a hand full of countries that still insert old works into anti-plagiarism-softwares and still uncover plagiarism that has been commited decades ago. Other countries don't do that, which is why they find less plagiarism. Finding less does not mean there is less, thats why Germany is highly respected in the scientific community for that, while laymen just look at numbers and missinterpret this.

    it’s perfectly true that psychiatry (while they do seem to alleviate suffering at times) is ..um..quite some way from being a robust science. It’s worth mentioning that the whole of medicine slightly fails on this score, but the medics are at least *trying* - quite hard - to use science. In psychiatry, there’s the problem of the shifting definitions of conditions, the frequent lack of a any objectively verifiable diagnostic tests, the humourous fact that the psichiatrists themselves are a bit 1 or 2 spokes short of a wheel and the fact that some patients get quite attached to their diagnosis (itself surely a mental health condition that could be studied)
    Add to this the weird, obsessive culture surrounding “mental health” these days. Women absolutely love talking about it, and if they want to say they are mad, I won’t argue with them...but unfortunately with the gentle, immeasurably superior sex comes the dreaded F word: feminism, which destroys good science everywhere it goes
