"Interrogation" is the second time I was amazed by HBO after "True Blood". Although the content of the two dramas is not related, if you want to find common ground, it is probably the consistent style of HBO-heavy taste.
What fairy drama, it presents the problems and contradictions that may occur in the psychological consultation, how to deal with them (positive and negative treatment, and possible consequences), the treatment within the outpatient work and the private life outside the outpatient work. . It is so real that I can always find my own shadow more or less in these extreme points, and think about the possible consequences and better solutions by the way.
Conventional psychotherapy usually takes 45 minutes and no more than an hour. For the sake of observability, this drama condenses the consultation process into just 20 minutes, and patients continue to output information at high frequency.
In it, the patient aggressively probes Paul's bottom line and exposes his confusion. The confusion of the mind often has complex causes and entanglements behind it. It cannot be formed in a day, and it is often a deep imprint of a person's growth history. Perhaps since he just learned to crawl to keep notes, it has been continuously imprinted in his mind, involving growing up. Like a silk thread, it is continuously spit out, and after being involved, it forms a thick cocoon with three layers inside and three layers outside.
And the job of psychiatrist Paul is to take out a pair of sharp scissors and try to break the cocoon with one knife at a time. The patient's narrative is often aimless, he can jump from one end to the other, and he can go all the way, and Paul's work is a traction, a third-person perspective of the bystander, watching from the sidelines. From the nonsense of the patient's constant statement, wash the sand in the waves. Discover the relationships in everything, and discover the true essence from the trivial on the surface. And this needs to be explored together with the patient. No matter how powerful a psychiatrist is, there is no one person who can control it. The patient needs to open their hearts and cooperate with them. This consultation will be meaningful. How the net is woven can only be solved by those who weave it, and how to solve the confusion must be solved. The psychiatrist is only a pulling force to help him solve the confusion faster.
Common evasion in consultation, there are sudden speeches and jumping up to prove that you are not like this, trying to exonerate yourself with examples, and suddenly changing the topic, preferring to hold the attitude that what you just talked about are irrelevant events, and no longer want to follow just now. The topic he was talking about continued to make a statement, and I got up directly and I wanted to drink water to find a water glass and leave my seat. I was thirsty as a nice reason to interrupt the conversation. There are also hands clasping their arms, self-defense and vigilance to protect themselves, and continue to listen to the psychiatrist to make statements.
A normal psychological consultation should be a process in which the psychiatrist stands in a relatively high position, but does not make the patient feel threatened, and uses some refined language to wake up the patient. The psychiatrist actually does not know what the final result of the consultation is. Part of it is that the patient suddenly understands during the consultation, and a larger part is that the patient suddenly thinks of it in the future and understands it after connecting it. . Therefore, I feel that all the dialogues in the consultation are just the tip of the iceberg of treatment, and the real underwater world requires patients to gradually understand in their own lives.
A very special feature of this show is that Paul, a psychiatrist, not only conducts consultations as a doctor himself, but also seeks the help of a mentor as a patient every week. These interspersed interviews surprised me, and I suddenly realized the fact that psychiatrists are also human, they are also confused, and they also need the traction of another person. To become a patient can better understand the patient and solve the patient's confusion. In this way, the emotions generated during the treatment process are not allowed to affect the effect of the treatment.
