Neutrality and Empathy in Psychoanalysis

Grayce 2022-04-19 09:02:11

It's not the planet that derails our lives, it's ourselves, and about ourselves, maybe we don't know or face up to it as much as we think. Fear, disgust, sadness from past experiences... We will subconsciously avoid some memories, which allows us to get a moment of comfort, but no longer a complete self, once there is a strong stimulus about those hidden memories, some mistakes , Unreal content may substitute for real memories, resulting in life dislocation and spiritual collapse. Psychoanalysis can help us find ourselves and return to the right path.

"Dr. Edward" is a story about the elimination of criminal plots through psychoanalysis, in which the passage of parsing the process of dream restoration is very classic. The setting of making the therapist heroine fall in love with the object being treated (the male protagonist) is actually to explore the contradictory issue of "psychoanalytic attitude". The female protagonist's fiery affection for the male protagonist and her firm belief in the male protagonist's innocence have undoubtedly surpassed the professionalism of a psychoanalyst, but it is also the female protagonist's refusal to give up and trust that the truth is revealed.

How to understand the professional psychoanalytic attitude? Master Freud explained this on two levels: first, the analyst should learn from the surgeon, put his emotions aside and focus on the work; second, the therapist should use his own unconscious to listen to the patient's unconscious. As an outsider, I try to understand the master's elaboration, which is probably to seek empathy and understanding to the greatest extent possible while suspending all moral and value judgments.

Or perhaps, it is neutral, passive, and distant, yet empathetic, immersed, and involved, without losing a wise attitude towards life!

    1. Psychoanalysis template, white line phobia, childhood shadows, guilt, amnesia, dream interpretation. 2. The suspense part is unsuccessful. The first half is lengthy. The surreal dreamland designed by Dali is the most attractive (eye curtains, casino manager, blank poker, sloping roof, deformed wheels). 3. Won the Oscar for the best soundtrack. 4. At the end, the subjective scene is classic: the murderer held a gun and watched Bergman leave the room, turned the revolver and shot the screen, paying tribute to Bout [the train robbery]. (8.0/10)

    excellent work! The whole is atmosphere > suspense. How to shoot a dream, how to imagine a dream, and how to interpret a dream, Hitchcock used this film to answer it for you at one time. Too many charming points can be associated with "Vertigo", which was later shocked by Xi Fat. It can be understood that the prototype appeared before it reached its peak.
