If I were to say what the key factors in the treatment of human mental illness are, I think it includes two aspects.
On the one hand are the necessary factors for the psychiatrist: persistence, love, imagination, and the search for truth.
On the one hand, the relationship between the psychologist and the patient: first establish a connection with the patient, and then the doctor gives the patient confidence, trust, understanding and tolerance, and listens to the patient's painful experience in the past.
Movie keywords: fantasies, love, childhood shadows, dreams, murders, and truth. The
plot consists of 3 lines:
1. JB, who had childhood shadows, was frightened when he joined the army when he was young. He was admitted to a mental hospital and met Dr. Edwards. . Later, he lost his memory and imagined that he had killed Dr. Edward and replaced him as the dean. But the straight lines on white are abnormal.
2. Dr. Edward was about to take over as the new dean to replace Dr. Ma. Dr. Ma was unwilling to do so, so he murdered Dr. Edward.
3. Dr. Fei fell in love with JB and firmly believed that he did not kill Dr. Edward and determined to find out the truth while treating JB.
The combined effect of these three lines constitutes a film of confusion and sentiment. The psychoanalysis of JB by Dr. Fei and her mentor, Dr. Fur, is the focus of the film. The clues to the murder case are provided by JB's dream.
"Dream is the best clue to restore memory. Who are you? What are you avoiding? These secrets are buried deep in your mind, but you don’t want to face it. People sometimes don’t want to face reality because of the facts. It hurts their wounds, so they get sick in order to forget everything. Dreams can tell us what you are escaping from, but it can only show the fragments. Combine the fragments to restore the original appearance, and then find out The meaning of it, the stranger the dream, the more helpful."
JB's dream:
A casino, no walls, eyes painted on the curtains. A man was cutting the curtains with a pair of scissors, and then a barely dressed woman came and kissed everyone. She came to my table first. The woman looked like Dr. Fei. Later, I played cards with a man with a beard. I played a club 7 and he said, "I am at blackjack, and I won." But his card was blank. Then the casino manager came over and said to the bearded man: "Next time you cheat, I will never let you go." The
bearded man stood on a sloping roof, and he slowly fell down. Then I saw the casino manager. He was hiding behind the wheel with the wheel in his hand. The shape of the wheel was very strange. I saw him throw the wheel off the roof. I ran to a hill and suddenly heard a flapping sound. When I looked up, it was a pair of big wings. Those wings keep chasing me, I keep running.
Dr. Fer's analysis: The
sloping roof represents the slope of the ski slope (the association JB is afraid of when he sees the snow). The bearded man may be Dr. Edward, who fell from the slope. The wings are Doctor Fei, appearing in the image of an angel. Or suggest Angel Valley (at this time JB said: It is Gabriel Valley).
So Dr. Fei and JB went to the Gabri Valley Ski Resort to try to awaken his memory. As he slid to the hillside where Dr. Edward fell, at the last moment of falling off the cliff, JB remembered what happened in the past.
JB’s childhood shadow (the crux, which Jung called the "complex"):
My brother and I were on the ramp on the second floor of a building, and below the bottom of the ramp where my brother was sitting was the high-tip steel frame of the gate. I slid down from the slide and called to my brother to let him leave. I couldn't control myself. I kept sliding down until the inertia of the bottom body kicked my brother down, and my brother was stuck to death by the steel frame of the gate. I felt severe guilt, as if I had killed my brother.
JB recalled coming here with Dr. Edward:
I used to study medicine and had a girlfriend, and then she married my roommate. My name is John Valenton. I was wounded and discharged when I was a soldier. I was frightened in the crash, so I went to the mental hospital and met Dr. Edward. He asked me to go skiing in order to cure my illness. We went to New York together, and then we came to Gabriel, and there was an accident. While skiing, he fell from a cliff 15 meters in front of me. At that time, the guilt of what happened in my childhood irritated me and made me think that I had killed Dr. Edward. To prove that Dr. Edward was not dead, I imposted him.
But is this the truth? No, there is truth outside the truth. The police found that there was a bullet hole in the back of Dr. Edward's body, so JB was arrested as the biggest suspect in the prison. Dr. Fei always believed in JB, so he decided to find out the truth. During the conversation, a loophole in Dean Ma’s words was discovered and he began to doubt Dean Ma. So I found him and questioned him face to face.
Dr. Fei’s analysis of JB’s dream: 7 o’clock and 21 o’clock implied place names, there is a blackjack club in New York, and the casino manager is Dean Ma. He went to New York and warned Dr. Edward that he was not allowed to take over his seat, otherwise he would wait. die. The wheel in the dream represents the revolver. It was Dean Ma who shot Dr. Edward from behind and killed him.
Regarding human mental illness, I
believe that the most important reason for human mental illness is that it stems from a strong psychologically painful experience. The intense painful experience of childhood is most likely to cause mental illness, such as fantasies and split personality. The past affects the future, and human mental illnesses are closely related to past experiences, so recalling the past is a very important part of psychoanalytic therapy.
No matter what the reason is, some psychologically unbearable pain will be suppressed or hidden in the heart in order to avoid feeling the pain. According to Jung’s theory, we not only consciously personalize a certain content, but we even hide it ourselves. So it separates from the unconscious and becomes an independent "complex", which exists alone in the unconscious, where it will not be corrected or interfered by the consciousness. This "complex" becomes an autonomous element in the psychology. Experience has shown that it can produce a unique fantasy life of its own. And when the depressive behavior of consciousness stops or relaxes, this "complex" emerges, such as in a dream, usually in the form of a dream.
In "Doctor Edward", JB suffers from the guilt of accidentally letting his brother die unexpectedly during his childhood. JB suppresses this guilt in his heart, so this pain forms a complex. This complex is like a tumor that lives in the body waiting to erupt, and it persists in JB's unconsciousness. Just as tumors affect the operation of other functions of the body, complex affects the operation of consciousness. For example, JB's fear and anxiety when he sees a straight line on white. And when JB witnessed the murder of Dr. Edward, when the plot reappeared that was very similar to his painful childhood experience, JB's criminal complex broke out, it was not controlled by consciousness, and fantasy was produced. JB suppresses this conscious memory due to pain, and is controlled by a criminal complex, and fantasizes about killing Dr. Edward. But I was afraid of this fact in my heart, so I comforted myself that Dr. Edward was not dead and pretended to replace him, letting this identity continue to live. JB suppresses this memory, but it reappears in his sleep, which explains why JB's dream provides many clues to the truth. Regarding JB's reaction to the straight lines on the white, it is the abnormal behavior caused by his criminal complex. The straight lines in white resemble the lines on the slide with my younger brother in childhood, and the traces of sleds on the ski slope where Dr. Edward was killed. Doctor Fei and Doctor Fu's psychoanalytic treatment of JB is carried out by letting JB recall the past and analyze JB's dreams.
The acquired mental illness of mankind stems from the intense psychological painful experience. So the mentally ill are the poorest people. In any case, people have to learn the same skill, that is, to vent their pain and not to be depressed in their hearts. As Jung said: an unconscious secret is more harmful than a conscious secret.
