The movie "The Dangerous Method" is about psychoanalysis. The protagonists are psychoanalysis masters Jung and Freud and a female patient Sabina. The basic method of psychoanalysis can be glimpsed from it. Jung used Freud's method to treat Sabina. The basic theory of Freud's psychoanalysis is the theory of sex, that is to say, all mental problems are caused by sex, and exploring the patient's dream can further find the cause and treat it. For example, Sabina, her performance is fear and hysteria. But this is only the appearance. Through conversations, Jung learned that she was often lashed by her father when she was a child, but she had sexual desire when she was abused. She hated herself extremely for this, and thought it was extremely humiliating. Typical Stockholm syndrome. So according to Freud's theory, the whip represents the sexual organs of men and is also a symbol of patriarchy, so her reaction is easy to explain. Through the conversation, Jung learned that she wanted to be a doctor, so he gave her the opportunity to be his assistant. Dreams are the satisfaction of desires, but also subconscious and unconscious explosions. For Sabina, being a doctor is a dream. Let her slowly enter the role of a normal person. Jung himself invented the idea of vocabulary union, to give someone a vocabulary, let him give an associative vocabulary, and then analyze the interval and physical and psychological reactions in it to infer his inner true thoughts. We will see special agents doing this test in spy movies. Today such a method has been widely implemented. The biggest difference between Jung and Freud is whether to introduce a theory other than the theory of sex. Freud got the key to psychoanalysis. He didn't like any mysticism. Through analyzing mythology and theology, Jung discovered that the human collective, as a race, also stored the experience of humans and pre-human species in the collective subconscious. If they do not break or stand, the separation of the two is inevitable. The relationship between Jung and the two patients who transcend professional ethics in the movie is also quite interesting. The master is also a layman. As a psychoanalyst, Jung himself suffered a nervous breakdown. Of course it was restored in the end. Like Freud, he lived nearly ninety years old. Sometimes I think that many disciplines cannot be the first breakthrough in China. For example, in this subject, unscrupulous talk about sex was also taboo at the end of the 19th century. As for the complex of Oedipus and the killing of the father, it is even more rebellious. We in China are talking about masturbation in Zhou Gong's dream interpretation. So to this day there are still many mental patients, and the treatment they receive is not as good as Sabina's one hundred years ago.
