The Storyteller: Narcissist's Playbook

The Professor's verdict - From the absurd to the abhorrent, Psychology Professor Inna Kanevsky examines the impossibilities of Sam Vaknin's academic claims. There is no paper trail, there is no proof he has any qualifications in any subject. Although all of this has been covered in the series, hearing it from a professor who has become world famous for debunking misinformation about psychology on the internet, was another layer of proof that he cannot explain away. Also uncovered in this episode, is a recording of a lecture by Sam, who is not a licensed mental health practitioner, admitting that he has "treated" a patient with Dissociative Identity Disorder, a condition that should only be treated by specialists.

Part 2 - HG Tudor gives his perspective as a diagnosed narcissistic psychopath on the behaviour of another diagnosed narcissistic psychopath, Sam Vaknin. Following on from Part 1 in which we listened back to the key moments of the confrontation interview with the fake professor, HG now offers his observations on some of the digital evidence particularly at the point when the victims have contacted the filmmakers to inform them of the abuse they suffered. We also take a look at how Sam is reacting to the documentary and podcast release and HG makes a prediction about his likely response to this analysis.

EP 30 - Psychopath on Psychopath Part 1. There are two big names who are both diagnosed narcissistic psychopaths serving a niche on the internet offering insights into their pathology. One is Sam Vaknin, who is accused of multiple allegations of sexually abusing women using fake credentials to lure them in, and the other is anonymous Englishman HG Tudor. The latter does not claim to hold any psychology qualifications and states his insights are purely from his lived experience being self aware. Some may regard them as rivals although both would likely dispute that and have until recently, publicly ignored one another. But following the release of the documentary and podcast, HG offered to do a "David Attenborough" style commentary of Sam Vaknin during my confrontation interview and in particular how he reacted. The episode begins with an explainer of the evolution of the investigation and efforts to make Sam's audience aware of the investigation light of his blocking and deleting of any comments relating to the allegations.

Being seen - British healthcare worker "Rachel" tagged along with a friend to watch author Sam Vaknin do a seminar on narcissism in London in November 2018. He was yet to name himself the made-up title of Dr Professor. Over a year later, after he had criticised her in the comments section of his social media deeming her not intelligent enough, he eventually messaged her privately and everything changed. He was her constant support during the covid years. But his attention and comforting friendship was soon replaced with darker demands. Rachel was won over by the intelligent internet expert, but soon discovered it came with a price she wasn't willing to pay.

Sam Vaknin was her idol - Grace is a second year PhD Philosophy student and for years she has admired the man she believed to be a professor. He wasn't just someone she watched from afar, he became a mentor and was even referenced in her Masters thesis. When she recently heard via Sam about what he's calling a "smear campaign" she brushed it off as a misunderstanding over him being a Doctor of Philosophy, who taught a different subject, Psychology. That was until her friend contacted her and informed her it was not a smear campaign, but an investigation into Sam's fraud and abuse of therapy patients. Her world came crashing down as she realised, he had never been interested in assisting her with her studies, his motivation was far more sinister.
