[Hannibal-verse] Was Hannibal actually a good psychiatrist? As in, did he actually help anyone with their mental/emotional problems? Were they grateful?

He was technically speaking amazing and he probably *did* help a decent number of people, to keep up the facade if nothing else.

But he also manipulated patients into leaving him money in their will, and pushed the more violent ones to hurt others for his amusement. Therapy is inherently a deeply vulnerable position, opening up your darkest secrets to someone with training in understanding and altering minds, and Dr Lecter  is not a man you want to be vulnerable to.

He was a *good* psychiatrist skill-wise, sure. The issue is, he was not a *safe* psychiatrist.
