I first met Dr. Cong Changmin in the first year when he opened a psychological clinic in Renxin Hospital. As the name suggests, the psychological clinic is a place to treat people's "heart disease". It does not use the traditional way of prescribing medicine to treat people like the psychiatry department of the hospital, but uses conversation, cognitive changes, or dream analysis, hypnosis, etc. Music, and artistic expression, and even biofeedback and other technologies to achieve the effect of healing without medicine.The hospital appointed me as the initial director of the psychological clinic. I repeatedly declined, saying that I was a psychiatrist, and that I was a "half-way monk" in psychological counseling and treatment.But because the hospital couldn't find a suitable candidate for the time being, they had to ask me to submit to this position first. It was agreed that if there were suitable talents, I could take the initiative to "let the talents go".

The counseling and treatment in the psychological clinics are all made by appointment. The parties involved in each case can be guaranteed one hour of treatment time. Get counseling or therapy. At the beginning of the opening of the psychological clinic of Renxin Hospital, the business was very hot.In the clinic, the appointment calls for consultations rang from morning to night.Due to the large number of cases and the treatment is calculated by hours, a psychiatrist cannot handle many cases in a day, so there is a shortage of manpower in the clinic.I also want to recruit some new staff.However, the number of professionally trained psychiatrists is extremely scarce, and it has never been possible to do so.

At this time, I thought of an idea.In the autumn and winter of this year, there will be a big annual mental health academic exchange meeting in this city. At that time, people from all walks of life will have the opportunity to "gather together" or "compete on the same stage". Maybe I can find a suitable one there. talent. On the first day of the academic conference, I rushed to the venue early.As usual, there is a very lengthy process of meeting registration procedures such as registration, payment, and receiving meeting materials and dining coupons.Because I arrived early, I avoided the crowds of supportive queues. After completing the formalities, I went to the second meeting room to rest for a while.In order to pass the time before the opening of the conference, I flipped through the conference materials in my hand.

Among them, there is an academic exchange article that caught my attention. The title is "Research on the Personality Projection Test of Painting". I think this article is very special and has a unique point of view.The insights of the article are unique, but there are some absurd and unreliable places.So I read it with the eyes of "appreciation and analysis of strange texts", and there is a paragraph of text in which the meaning is as follows: "By drawing a tree, we can know the inner world or personality traits of the painter (subject). 'Trees' symbolizes people's primitive instincts, or inner emotions, and to some extent is the painter's self-projection and symbol The size of the tree, up and down, left and right, as well as positive inclination and deviation all have certain meanings. Through the specific shape of the tree in the picture, we can analyze the state of his spiritual world and material world, and know his past His life experience and future development trend can also be further analyzed to determine his impression of his mother and father..."

When I saw this, I couldn't help throwing the article on the table, and said in a teasing tone: "This is too mysterious! It's incredible, it looks like a science fiction story!" "What science fiction story?" At this moment, I realized that there was a person sitting across from my table, resting and waiting for the opening time of the meeting. He looks like a dashing and handsome gentleman, but he is not the kind of weak scholar or the "butter boy" type of handsome man in the movie.His complexion was good, and his broad shoulders and shapely torso suggested a muscular physique capable of withstanding the rigors of life and weather, and with a masculine demeanor.It's just that his eyes were very rude. When he glanced at the other party, they were short and sharp, with a flash like pure steel, which gave people an unpleasant impression.Moreover, when this person is staring at something, he frowned his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes very small, so that the scope of his field of vision was gathered into a small dot, and he then enlarged this dot on the retina of the eyeball, as if It seems clear at a glance!This unpleasant gaze seems to be able to see through people's minds at a glance!

"It's about this article." I pointed to the article "Research on the Personality Projection Test of Painting" on the table, and continued in a sarcastic tone, "It's like a fantasy! I bet that the author wrote this article for It is unconventional and fabricated, just like astrological divination. I don’t think any psychologist will develop such an absurd personality test method!” "If you want to make a bet, then you lose." He kept his eyes on the article on the table, and a confident smile animated his face, and the smile was slightly childish.He said: "Tree personality measurement method was founded by German Koch in the 1950s. In 1962, at the Fifth International Academic Conference on Child Psychiatry, it was officially approved to apply this testing technology to clinical psychotherapy practice. At present, it is mainly used in the field of psychoeducational measurement of children and adolescents."

"Ah, this is my ignorance." I said in surprise, but I thought a little unhappy: This person is indeed knowledgeable, but he is also too conceited, and he actually lectured me in a lecture tone in the conference room! The man paused and said again: "This is not a myth, but science! Just like the inkblot test method invented by the Swiss Rorschach, and the later maze personality measurement method, both were studied by psychologists for many years. Psychological testing technology supported by huge scientific statistical data and clinical case data." I wanted to change the subject, so I nodded in agreement with him and said, "Oh, I know about these two personality test techniques. But I didn't expect the tree drawing test to be the same type of thing."

"Take this color as an example," the man talked more and more conceitedly. He pointed to the colors of the table, wall and curtains and said: "According to a person's preference or dislike for a certain color, then Let him arrange a series of colors in different orders of likes and dislikes, and we can analyze and deduce his mood, personality and mental health. This is also a kind of science, that is, the psychological science of color." Although I was very unhappy in my heart, I had to admire this man's profound knowledge.At this moment the bell for the opening of the meeting rang, and the conversation ended here.

When the man walked out of the conference room, he turned around, pointed to the article on the table, and said calmly, "I wrote this article." It was only then that I remembered to pay attention to the author's name. I picked up the document and read it, and saw that the signature on it was "Cong Changmin". When the meeting was in progress, I was a little absent-minded, until my friend Fang Xian who was sitting next to me patted me on the shoulder and said, "You seem to be tired and haggard recently." I said helplessly: "The psychological clinic of the hospital has just opened recently, and it is extremely busy! I am thinking about how to make it bigger and better."

Fang Xian was my classmate in college and is now engaged in neuropsychological research.After hearing this, he said in surprise: "Recently, many people want to open a psychological clinic. I have a friend named Cong Changmin, who is a returnee. When we met just now, he also clamored to open a private psychological clinic." "You mean Cong Changmin? Is he your friend?" I pointed to the stack of meeting materials in my hand, and suddenly became interested. "Is that the author of the paper "Research on the Personality Projection Test of Painting"? What kind of person is he?"

"He is very knowledgeable and very smart. He returned from Japan more than half a year ago. He is a doctor of psychology. His major is psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. It is said that he is best at dream analysis and hypnotherapy. A university research institute asked him to Going to work, he hasn't made a final decision yet. Because he really wants to open a psychological clinic of his own." At this time, a new idea popped up in my head, and I said, "Can I hire him to be a psychologist in our clinic?" Fang Xian looked at me in surprise and said, "How did you think of hiring him to work in your psychological clinic?" I said, "What? Is he very proud and difficult to get along with?" "That's not the case. Although he is very conceited, he is quite sincere in his dealings with others, but his temper and behavior are particularly strange and weird." I said, "How strange and eccentric?" "He is full of energy, with extraordinary physical strength, and very quick thinking. He once told his friends that his hobby in life is to read all kinds of books in the world. He has also been hired by many psychological clinics, but he rejected them all." "Refused? Do you think the salary and treatment are not good?" "No. He has no concept of money and is a complete nerd. He said that he doesn't want to be entangled in some ordinary cases, and always likes to challenge some intractable diseases. If such a case is handed over to him, he will They even offered free consultation or treatment. Do you think he’s weird?” Fang Xian shook his head in disbelief, and added: “Some people also say that he has compulsive tendencies. I went to practice a strange boxing technique in the park, rain or shine. Anyone who wants to know the time can go to the park to find Cong Changmin. He was seen hypnotizing a cat." "Hypnotized a cat?!" "Yeah. He said it was an experiment. In addition, he has a strange mechanical memory like autism or Asperger's syndrome. He always loses things around him, but yes Some meaningless materials can be remembered with a flash memory. For example, someone showed him a page of the telephone directory. After a few hours or a few days, he was tested, and he could recite it fluently. 1,500 digits. So some people suspect that he suffered from symptoms of autism when he was young." "How old is he? He looks very young." I asked again. "This may be related to his insistence on exercising. In fact, he is not young. He is about thirty-five or six years old, but he is still single." "Does he not want to get married and believes in celibacy?" "No. I heard that it was the death of his first lover, which made him unforgettable, and he can't forget it to this day. Some people also said that the lover who had been engaged to him abandoned him and left with others, making him lose all hope of love and marriage. In short, In this matter, he has a deep hidden pain that none of his friends will touch." "I still very much want to hire him to work in our psychiatric clinic." My conviction grew stronger, and my interest in him grew stronger.I said to Fang Xian, "Can you introduce me to your weird friend?" "Okay, I'll give it a try." Fang Xian said reluctantly, "If you can't talk, don't blame me."
