Professor Li smiled and took a sip of tea and said: "A long time ago, after a woman came back from a visit to a hospital, she began to tremble like a demon, inexplicably, feeling panicked and scared, afraid to see people, and slowly did not dare to go out. For more than half a year, she has lost a full seven kilograms, everyone said that she hit a ghost, she also believes so, during which she has also experienced other treatments, but it has not been cured, and she has been to several major hospitals for examination, all of which say that she is not sick, which makes her believe that it is a ghost possession. ”

"We used different sensing methods to enter all her consciousness levels to find "ghosts", but we didn't feel any traces of the supernatural. I can almost conclude that there is no external spirit in her, but how to explain her "illness"? After careful exploration, she said bit by bit, that not long after her husband died of illness, she was already a little depressed and uneasy, and when she returned from visiting her relatives in the hospital half a year ago, she caused her own phobia, fearing that she would also die, so she began to pretend that she was sick and died, and she felt more and more sick. Of course, this also includes the "death wish" of missing her deceased husband and wanting to reunite with him. It was these factors that led her to severe psychosis, coupled with the gossip of her relatives that she was possessed by spirits, which happened to be in line with her own beliefs, so she believed that she was possessed by spirits, and all kinds of symptoms came out. After Professor Li finished speaking, he laughed.

"And then, what about this female patient?" Wu Lang asked as he looked at Professor Li.

"This is a standard psychosis, heart disease still needs a heart medicine, this is where psychoanalytic theory comes in handy, but I use hypnosis to enhance the effect of psychoanalysis, which is much more straightforward than using general free association to guess the symbolic meaning, and after a analysis and treatment, the patient knows the cause of his disease, and since then he has gradually recovered. After years of clinical training, I have realized that as a doctor, it is not too cautious to be cautious, and for ordinary cases, it is enough to use medical knowledge to diagnose them according to common sense, just like the case I just mentioned. However, for some diseases, I don't think it is possible to apply the general medical diagnosis formula, which is especially common in mental patients, for these special cases, instead of rushing to install a disease term that may be wrong, it is better to explore new possibilities and finally make a scientific judgment. After Professor Li finished speaking, he looked at Wu Lang with a smile.

Wu Lang nodded contemplatively and said, "Uncle, what is that fake possession?"

Professor Li took another sip of tea and said with a smile: "As the name suggests, this kind of possession may have the phenomenon of spiritual possession, but the spirit attached to him is not another real spirit, but a pretended one, in other words, it is incarnated by himself. This is not the same as the above-mentioned virtual possession, which is completely devoid of spirit possession and is purely psychological. This kind of possession can be divided into two categories to illustrate, multiple personalities, in fact, the multiple personalities depicted in psychiatry, can not be completely equated with the pseudo-possession mentioned here, because there is not only the phenomenon of virtual possession in multiple personalities, but also the phenomenon of pseudo-possession because several of them are too deformed by themselves. To put it simply, in the case of multiple personalities, most people have personality abnormalities, and some people will have the phenomenon of virtual possession or pseudo-possession, or even both. ”

Wu Lang frowned slightly, and his brain quickly judged and analyzed Professor Li's words.

"I'll give you a case, in the minds of ordinary relatives and friends, Xiao Wang is a polite twenty-eight-year-old young man, serious and responsible, and treats people and things in a decent manner, but two or three times, he rode a motorcycle back to his residence late at night, took a shower and went to bed, and woke up the next morning to see that his quilt was torn to shreds, as if he had been scratched with a flat drill. But he had no idea what had happened the night before. After discussing with his relatives and friends, some people said that he was possessed by a cat spirit or had been stricken, some said that he was drugged, some said that he was crazy, some said that he was probably suffering from sleepwalking, and taught him to find a specialist to solve the problem anyway. So someone recommended me to him. ”

Because his fear was so strong that it was difficult to get into the situation, he jumped away at once after each kick at the door. With nothing to do, I had no choice but to ask him to go home and rest, imagining that I was tired and on the way home, riding a motorcycle...... Suddenly, he screamed that he had hit a cat, and he quickly stopped and turned off the fire, only to feel that the cat seemed to be knocked into the air, hit the telephone pole, screamed miserably, and then fell to the ground, wailing a few times before he lost his breath. He ran to see if he could give first aid, but couldn't find him near the telephone pole. Slowly, he felt a sense of fear, goosebumps rose, and he heard several unusual cat meows in the grass in the distance, which frightened him and hurried home on the motorcycle. This was his sophomore year of high school, and he had been in a state of confusion for a long time, and in the dead of night he often felt that a cat was following him, watching him, and then forgetting about it because he was busy with his homework. ”

Wu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then listened intently to Professor Li's speech.

In hypnosis, he suddenly remembered that the night of his first attack had been about ten months earlier, and ten years later, he had inadvertently passed the same place in the middle of the night on a motorcycle. Although the road had been widened and the landscape beside the road was different, he felt creepy at that time, as if something was watching him, following him, and attaching himself to him. When he returned home, he always felt that something was wrong, and after waking up, he had an incident of tearing the quilt, and the next two seizures also happened after riding a motorcycle home late at night. ”

"I want him to go back to those three nights and find out if he had any dreams while he was sleeping. He searched for a while, and then said that the cat had returned, and had attached itself to him, and had been wailing bitterly, and then suddenly he became a samurai in armor, and he himself became a samurai, as if he were not from our country, and the two of them fought desperately at each other, and fought for hundreds of rounds in the dark, and it seemed that the other sergeants had died, and only the two of them were left, and he was killed by the other party until he was exhausted, and after his death he was smashed by the other man who threw him off a cliff from the castle, which made him hate it to the core, and in fact, after those three attacks, he could not remember that he had such a dream。 ”

"We go back to the dream to trace the plot, he feels like the lord of a small city-state in Europe, resisting the invasion of the other side and failing, but I didn't expect that when he was eighteen years old, he inexplicably took revenge, and inexplicably feared for a while, and then was possessed, resulting in a series of inexplicable things. In fact, he was not possessed, but only swayed and controlled by the memories of his previous life, and the spirit attached to him did not actually exist, but only his own spirit consciousness from his previous life, and when this spirit consciousness dominated him, he seemed to become another person, and his original identity was temporarily forgotten. When he woke up and returned to his original form, the spirit that had briefly controlled him was gone. This phenomenon, just like the werewolf in the movie, when he becomes a wolf, he will forget who he is, and when he wakes up, he will not remember being a wolf. After Professor Li finished speaking, he laughed again.

Wu Lang lowered his head and drank tea: Then my dream a few days ago, will it be the same situation, the memories of my previous life and even many lives are overlapped and superimposed, and it will be displayed in the way of dreams, reminding me of all kinds of pasts.

"What's wrong with you?" Professor Li asked, looking at Wu Lang's pensive expression.

"Uncle, I'm fine, I'm thinking about what you said, please continue to explain my doubts!" Wu Lang hurriedly raised his head and smiled.

Professor Li nodded and said: "There is also a kind of false possession called possession in the past life, in this kind of person, it is obvious that there are two people, one is himself and the other is someone else, and this other person often appears at every turn, seriously interfering with the life of his own master. When hypnotizing such a person, the other person will also appear quickly, and after professional interrogation, it is realized that this other person is also himself, a past life spiritual consciousness that he has confused. It is not so simple to deal with such an almost split soul, and it is necessary to examine the patient's state of mind in detail, to understand that it must be strongly comforted, and to try to bring it into her subconscious, so that this "ghost" can disappear. ”
