* One of the main villains in ''[[LAL.A. Noire]]'', Dr. Harlan Fontaine, is shown to be a brilliant psychologist and "doctor to the stars". However, when one of Dr. Fontaine's students, Courtney Sheldon, is in a fix and wondering what to do with some military surplus morphine, Fontaine says he'll take the morphine off his hands and of course, he gives the money he receives from it to a corrupt conspiracy that has people burning down housing estates to collect the insurance money. He also manipulates an ex-patient to burn down two families' houses, forcing them to sell their land.
* The villain in ''[[BioShock (series)]] 2'' is Dr. Sofia Lamb, a brilliant psychiatrist who believes [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]. She uses her skills to manipulate patients and the entire city of Rapture into becoming part of the "Rapture Family," which is just an elaborate ruse designed to obscure the fact that she's using the inhabitants to further her crazy agenda.
* ''[[Alice: Madness Returns]]'' gives an especially twisted example in Dr Angus Bumby, whose 'therapy' consists of getting his patients to forget their pasts so he can use them as child prostitutes. [[Complete Monster|He also burns down the protagonist's house to cover his tracks after raping her sister.]] His [[Karmic Death]] is ''entirely'' justified.
