The murder of psychologist has shocked his colleagues. This is the first case in Armenia and in the world, when a client has raised a hand on a psychologist. “I have been working as a psychologist for 30 years and there has not been such a thing, even an altercation between visitors and psychologists. Such patients are more distressed, self-contained and isolated from others. The level of aggression is several times lower among them as compared with ordinary people,” says psychologist Samvel Khudoyan. The person suspected of killing Professor Ruben Poghosyan, head of the scientific head of psychological center “Ayg”, also visited a psychiatrist. Samvel Khudoyan says he knew the professor very well and excludes any conflict between him and patients. “That guy was obviously under stress. Besides Ruben Poghosyan, he also attacked another employee of the psychological center, but did not manage to hurt him. Samvel Khudoyan offers to have special services in psychological centers to avoid repetition of such cases. Ruben Poghosyan was stabled to his death by one of the visitors of “Ayg” psychological center. The person suspected of his death was arrested earlier today.
