you're being ridiculous on so many levels, no one is immune to going insane nor is any profession magically able to stop psychopaths entering the field.. they aren't trained to "resist" anything, they are trained to monitor and aid mentally ill patients.. like doctors they have training to help with what they'll witness but no training creates an auto "never go crazy / never be a psychopath" ward around anyone.

asylums of old were also horrible places full of torture, abuse and mistreatment - many of the psychologists at these asylums were psychopaths or psychotics themselves.. it's not hard to see that if you look up anything to do with old asylums - there's a reason asylums are no longer used.. they were basically torture-dungeons based on ignorance and fear, wherever ignorance and fear exists psychopaths and sadistic individuals flourish.

so it is very plausible for psychiatrists or psychologists to go insane or be psychopaths, there's many of them in reality - both past and present.. just as there are in any other profession.. your skills / profession in no way makes you "resistant" to going mad.. also you can't be trained to "resist" psychopathy, you are born with that disorder and while psyche tests exist to try and stop them entering the field psychopaths are extremely smart and can often fool even qualified psychiatrists, so it isn't impossible for them to get into the system.
