Every quarter, Mr. Jane Arnold will mail a check of 100,000 New Zealand dollars to Dr. Jin Anqing's private clinic, rain or shine.
In return.
Regardless of whether it is really effective, Dr. Jin Anqing will conduct a psychological evaluation for Tony every Saturday.
"Does he seem anxious? Does he have any obvious resistance to external sounds or changes in light? Does he hit things?"
Because Tony has language and intelligence. Barrier, unable to communicate normally.
So Dr. Jin often chooses to ask the Filipino caregiver or gardener some questions about Tony’s life.
Every time he would take out some colorful illustrations and pictures, use his iPhone to connect to the Bluetooth speaker in the room to play some music, and stare at Tony's stupid big gray eyes for a long time to see if there was any dodge in his eyes. . He even brought a small harmonica and let Tony play a few notes at will.
He compiled all the patients’ responses into professional survey forms and follow-up reports based on his experience.
Although the effect of these data is limited, it is like looking into a small room through a thick layer of gauze.
However, these disease analyzes have accumulated over time and still amount to thousands of pages.
Gu Weijing untied the tether on the leather bag, and the pages poured out.
He has all of Tony's evaluation reports in recent years, because there are too many data files.
Gu Weijing just went to a graphic printing shop outside and spent 90,000 kyats to print all these data and reports at hand for easy reading.
"What do I need my agent painter to do now?"
Gu Weijing was browsing these information here.
Mr. Sloth had already asked, "Dr. King, it is the first time for us to use illustrations to treat autism. You are an expert in psychological issues, and it is up to you to arrange our work. , no matter what you need Ms. Detective Cat to draw, we are happy to cooperate.”
“This is a very wrong point of view. In order to improve the efficiency of our next work, please note that there is one point that must be made. Corrected in advance."
"If what we are doing now can be described as a precise surgical operation, then the surgeon is the detective cat lady, and my role is at most just a person responsible for holding tools and. Male nurse wiping sweat."
Dr. Jin Anqing crossed his arms.
He put his arms on the table of his desk, leaned forward slightly, and glanced at the cartoon virtual images of the two animals on the computer screen.
"So the correct statement should be that the design of this treatment content is not what I need you to do, but Detective Cat will call you Ms. Cat, but Ms. Cat, you need me to do it. What?"
"I don't understand. You are Tony's psychiatrist."
Gu Weijing stopped what he was doing.
He looked at the camera in confusion"I don't know anything about the field of psychotherapy. I personally don't have any relevant academic background, and I don't even know how to start."
Mr. Sloth suggested that he take on this task.
Winning the friendship of the great artist Jane Arnold is a precious opportunity in every sense, so he came.
But if there is no clear instruction.
What should I draw as a layman?
“Ms. Cat, many people have a misunderstanding and regard psychological counseling and psychotherapy as an inscrutable blind box. A kind of wonderful witchcraft that can control the mind."
"A depressed patient who was full of pain came to my consulting room, knocked on the door and sat down. Forty-five minutes later, he left a 1,000 note. After the US dollar check was used as a gift for the wizard to cast a spell, a new happy soul passed through the baptism of this blind box and walked out humming a song."
"And I"
Jin Anqing pointed to himself with his fingertips, "And I am the one who possesses the profound wisdom of insight into human nature, the one who makes all magic happen. In the eyes of outsiders, even if I casually hum or yawn, it also carries with it A profound Zen feeling."
"Isn't it?"
Gu Weijing was curious.
Psychiatrists are still a very rare profession in Myanmar.
This country is extremely poor and has insufficient medical insurance coverage.
Most people may not be willing to go to a large hospital to see a doctor even if they have a high fever.
In the social consensus around him, psychological problems are more like the kind of disease of weakness and wealth that only young men and young ladies in developed countries have time to pay attention to.
The bad mood will pass after a while.
Even if they suffer a major mental blow, according to national custom, Myanmar residents will often resort to religious comfort.
In a Buddhist country, going to a temple to burn light incense worth 100 kyats and kowtow on a futon is much more cost-effective than seeing a psychiatrist.
The profession of a psychologist is still quite high-end and full of mystery in Gu Weijing's inherent understanding. Dr. King's description sums it up very accurately.
"Of course not. On the contrary, this is a very classic stereotype."
"Every time I start a consultation with a new patient, I will clearly tell the patient that I am just a Ordinary people."
"If you want to add an attribute, then I am more experienced, patient and good at listening than most people who have no training, but I am still an ordinary person. People, not the master of hypnosis in the Now and Now gang who can control people like puppets."
"Those who think of me as a magician should really see me in the divorce court. "Looking embarrassed."
Jin Anqing said gently, "If I were really proficient in mind reading and mentally strong enough to be indestructible, then I would not occasionally be tortured by my ex-wife and want to find a cliff by the sea to jump off. Yes.My God, she was such a gentle and lovely girl before she got married. ”
Gu Weijing looked at the psychiatrist’s helpless smile on the screen.
He didn’t know why Dr. Jin said these words to him, and he vaguely felt as if he had grasped something difficult to grasp. Something that’s clear.
“You’re trying to say that it’s the patient who really makes the change, not you, the doctor. "Mr. Sloth spoke softly for him.
"Perfect"
Dr. Jin snapped his fingers in admiration and tapped the table twice with his palm.
"You are such a sharp and intelligent man. Not to be flattery, but among all the clients I have experienced, only a minority of them immediately realize what I am talking about. ”
“In the final analysis, psychotherapy is nothing more than letting the patient’s inner emotions vent. ”
“Moderate ultraviolet rays are good for health, and the same is true for psychological problems. ”
“If everyone can take out their inner self and bask in the sun regularly, then they will definitely be able to draw positive power from it. What we psychiatrists do is this communication and guidance process. "The doctor said.
"Although I studied medical school for seven years before I got my doctorate, even though obtaining a professional license as a psychologist in New Zealand requires hundreds of hours of specialized training to qualify for medical practice. The number of hours, although I am an industry expert who charges thousands of dollars an hour, but all of this is not a necessary condition for a good psychological consultation. "
"Sometimes the effect of patients going to their parents, lovers, or even church priests and believers to cry hysterically is better than me writing a thousand pages of medical records. And they have never even heard of the concept of psychology. "
Dr. Jin Anqing stretched out his two index fingers and slowly approached each other until the skin of the fingertips touched each other.
"I have always believed that the relationship between the patient and the outside world is Communication and the mutual link between souls allow the magic of transformation to happen, not the knowledge in heavy psychology textbooks. "
"And in this chat room, the person most hopeful of establishing this link is obviously not me. Autistic people have their own special characteristics. I have tried various methods in the past ten years, but none of them have been able to open Tony's heart. "He said slowly.
"That's why I suggested that Jane Arnold invite you. Cat lady, you are an amazing person. ”
“I learned about some cases and research progress through private channels. I have to say that this is the first time I have seen a work like The Little Prince that can penetrate the closed hearts of patients with autism syndrome in so many years of working in the industry. It is really amazing. If Tony were 5 years old this year, the golden age for autism treatment, maybe a book of Little Prince could unlock his heart. "
The psychologist shook his head and said, "But he is already 41 years old, and the mental state of autistic patients has been completely finalized at this age. ”
“To give an inappropriate example, this bigThe keyhole in the child's heart has been rusted away. What he needs is not a key, but a hammer that can open the door. I need you to paint something that is more penetrating to Tony himself. ”
“Just like minimally invasive surgery for appendicitis, a small hole must be drilled out in the stomach first. Only then can doctors like me have the space to insert the tools.” "
Doctor Jin made a gesture of drilling with a hand drill.
"You need me to figure out what kind of work to paint," Gu Weijing said hesitantly.
“Yes, I can’t tell you what to paint for any work, any subject matter, any size, or any quantity, because I don’t know what to paint, and my requirements will create restrictions. ”
Dr. Jin shrugged, “The only thing I can suggest to you is that I hope you can continue to use the drawing method of drawing with a knife, because preliminary research has shown that this kind of painting is more effective for patients with autism.” Like. ”
“The rest requires your own imagination, Ms. Cat.” Of the three of us, it is you, the artist, who has the power to make magic happen, not me, the doctor. Tony's past evaluation cases in your hands are the casting materials I have prepared for you. ”
Gu Weijing seemed to understand.
He flipped through the thick material in his hand.
ados diagnostic tool form for autistic children, scq Behavioral and Social Communication Problems Survey and Assessment Paper, Merkel Child Development Scale
On sheets of white printing paper, a clear profile of this middle-aged man named Tony was revealed for many years.
The content of the psychological assessment form is not obscure.
Reading the document at hand, Gu Weijing can easily imagine what the other person is like in life. .
He often stares at his arms, is unwilling to speak, lacks language skills, and is lonely and has no friends.
Gu Weijing is right. This kind of emotional state is not unfamiliar, there are similar familiar examples around him.
The life of the fat baby in the orphanage is like this.
The great artist. Jane Arnold's son is just an enlarged version of Bu Dao who is thirty years older.
Tony is both luckier and more unlucky than Bu Dao.
His. The material conditions are countless times better than Bu Dao's, but his condition is much more serious.
Bu Dao's language disorder is not serious, and his autism is a relatively mild type.
When Bu Dao is held in his arms, he will show his teeth and ask for chocolate.
The most common thing that Jane Arnold's son does is just sit on the sun lounger and hold a stuffed animal in a daze.
The difference between a day, a year or a lifetime doesn't seem to be big in Tony's case.
He even lives like a bird. A big puppet dressed up by the nurse
In these treatment diaries, the doctor records.The servant's description of Tony made it obvious from every line that Tony lacked enough "human" emotions.
"That cat named Amy may be a good opportunity."
In the silent chat room, Mr. Sloth suddenly spoke.
Anna also has a copy of information sent by Jane Arnold's assistant.
She said aloud, "Ms. Detective Cat, have you seen the photo taken in the swimming pool before? I think this photo looks different."
Gu Wei I already know which photo Mr. Sloth is referring to.
While the agent was speaking, his eyes were also resting on a printed photo in the kraft paper file.
It was an honest film photo that had been scanned into an electronic version. It was hazy and had the grainy texture of film exposure.
The background is an indoor swimming pool.
Tony, who was still a child in the real sense of the age at that time, was surrounded by a pink inflatable swimming ring, next to a gray-haired cat.
There is also a note on the photo "Tony and Amy swimming, Palazzo Visconti Hotel, Milan, 1993."
"Amy"
Gu Weijing's fingers turning the pages quietly paused.
Pet cats generally don’t like water very much.
Except for the cat in the photo, it seems to be swimming quite happily.
The boy was flopping around in the water, and the cat was also flopping around in the water.
The water splash solidified on the wet hair of the cat, and the water splash also solidified on the wet hair of Tony, who was wearing a swimming suit.
In the dancing waves of the swimming pool, the scene of one person and one cat is quietly frozen in the camera lens.
The photo was taken thirty years ago, and it is also the oldest photo of the brown paper bag.
There were other photos of Tony as an adult in the portfolio, but Gu Weijing pulled out this photo alone and fell into deep thought while staring at it.
It is different from all other photos.
"Tony in the photo has the joy of a real child."
Gu Weijing understood what attracted him to this photo, and he expressed his feelings towards Mr. Sloth said.
The information contains many photos of Tony Zhang’s life.
In most of those photos, Tony is also well-dressed, unlike many mentally ill patients who wear shabby clothes and look sloppy.
With Jane Arnold's wealth, it is not difficult to hire a full-time caregiver to keep her son's appearance neat and capable.
It would be weird if Tony looked bad on camera.
However.
Gu Weijing could tell from the first moment he saw all those photos that Tony was not a normal person.
Maybe it’s the unfocused, evasive eyes, maybe it’s the empty and chaotic temperament, maybe it’s something else.
For oneTo a painter with a sensitive mind, the mutilation of the soul of the subject is as noticeable as the mutilation of the soul of the missing arm or leg.
No matter how well-dressed he is, the way Tony looks in the photos as an adult looks like electronic software with some important project files or program codes deleted.
He seems to be able to function normally as a human being, but he always exudes feelings that are different from those of healthy people.
Only this photo is different.
Tony was laughing, laughing from the bottom of his heart.
From his posture, movements, and eyes in the swimming pool, there is no essential difference from other peers in the swimming pool.
Even the red pimples that grow high on the face are so ordinary.
Ordinary and ordinary.
Ordinary ones are so cute.
The Tony captured in the camera at this moment is an ordinary, ordinary young man who is about to enter middle school.
"Tony is complete with Maomao at this moment."
Gu Weijing said slowly. "Is Amy his pet?"
"Yes, I knew you would notice that cat. Yes, Amy is the Scottish Fold cat that accompanied Tony when he was a child. Some kind of In a sense, he is also the most successful of the countless psychiatrists that Master Jane Arnold hired for his own son."
Jin Anqing was not surprised that the illustrator could notice the cat's love for Tony. of difference.
If the illustrator did not have even this insight, he would have to question whether the decision to invite the other person to participate in therapy was the right one.
But there was not much joy in his tone.
“It’s just that I have to remind you that it is very difficult to use Amy as a starting point. It may be much more difficult than you think.”
“ Why”
Mr. Sloth heard the complex meaning in Dr. King’s tone.
“Because every psychiatrist involved in treating Tony. I, my ex, and my ex’s ex have all studied this case. Each of us knows that Amy is the key to Tony’s heart. "
"There is a term in psychology called conscious reflex. This concept is very similar to the knee jerk reflex in physiology, or the conditioned reflex in Pavlov's biological experiments with dogs. It happens at the level of consciousness. It refers to the stress response formed deep in people's hearts when they hear a specific stimulus. "
"It cannot be avoided or concealed."< /p>
Gu Weijing frowned slightly, "Can you put it more plainly?"
Dr. Jin Anqing pondered for a moment, "When people face scenes that are deeply engraved in their souls, they will immediately "As a child."
"For example, if a father always insults his son with a certain verbal word, he will feel angry and inferior to this specific word. smallA boy who was raped by a clergyman when he was a child, so even if he becomes a 200-pound heavyweight boxer as an adult, the moment he hears a church bell ringing, his first reaction is still to tremble. , want to escape. "
Dr. Jin sat up straight.
"I just gave a few examples. Conscious reflexes are not necessarily caused by negative emotions. For example, in Tony's condition, we can regard Amy's cat as a beautiful reflection of consciousness. ”
“At that time, Jane Arnold’s career was officially on the rise. I even judge based on so many years of treatment and follow-up visits. "The doctor slowly expressed the speculation that had been brewing in his heart for a long time, "Perhaps Amy left a deeper impression on young Tony's heart than his father Jane Arnold. "
"What's wrong with this?" Gu Weijing asked.
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that, as the saying goes, the most obvious solution may often be the most Difficult solution. "
Dr. Jin pursed his lips, "The keyword Amy is so obvious, which means that before you, there have been countless people who have used the image of Amy in countless ways to get into Tony heart. It may be to use Amy's appearance as a template to make a plush doll. If you look for another similar example of a Scottish Fold cat, I can give you many, many examples. ”
“The more doctors take over this kind of thing later, the more they suffer. You can roughly understand it as resistance to drug addiction. I don’t know if you, Ms. Cat, can understand what I am talking about.” Psychotherapy is also durable. Every failed attempt makes the next time more difficult. The more he tries to replace Amy, the more Tony becomes wary. "
"The best way to do this is to find a replacement for Amy's image in Tony's heart when she just passed away. Or just get a few more cats from the beginning. "
Dr. Jin Anqing's voice was filled with regret, "His first or second psychiatrist may have had the opportunity to do this, but not today thirty years later. The opportunity actually slipped away when I took over the treatment. "
"We wanted to replace Amy as a channel to get into Tony's heart, but this pet cat happened to live in the deepest layer of Tony's heart that was most inaccessible. So, all this became a kind of black. Humorous paradox. "
Mr. Sloth suggested, "What if instead of replacing Amy, we use Amy's fairy tale image to enter the patient's heart through artistic creation?"
"Of course, of course you Will think of doing this. It's just that I'm not trying to break your confidence. "Dr. Jin chuckled twice, "Have you ever seen the Miracle of Oz?"
"You mean Eliza"
Jane Arnold's most famous fairy tale illustration The book tells the story of a group of wild animals adventuring in the forest.
It’s not wrong to call it a comic.
But each page is beautifully drawn and can be used as a stand-alone book. Artwork. Among the protagonists is a dog calledThe gray Fold cat that makes "Elissa".
"Alyssa's prototype is Amy?" Mr. Sloth's tone was full of sudden realization of solving the case.
"Yes, as Tony's father, how could Jane Arnold not think of this idea." Jin Anqing breathed out, "This illustration collection has warmed the hearts of countless children around the world. There is no warmth to the child that Master Jane Arnold hopes for most. "Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest free reading without anti-theft.
