Liu Feng specially mentioned that Ding Qi's special talent is one of his secrets. In a special state, Ding Qi can enter the spiritual world of others, as if he is there.

What does the spiritual world look like? It is not only a projection of reality, but also an inner self, and the scenery presented in a specific state of mental activity is either fragmented or absurd, like a dream but not a dream.

It was in the process of studying hypnosis that Tintzi discovered and discovered this talent of his own. When the other person enters a state of deep hypnosis, and he is also in a state of extreme concentration, he can enter the other person's mental world. This was not an unfounded hallucination, and through comparative analysis, the scenes he saw as if he were in the scene directly reflected the mental activities of the other party at that time.

According to the words of his mentor Liu Feng, this is an objective phenomenon, objectivity from the perspective of scientific research. Not only is Ding Qi able to repeat this phenomenon, but this phenomenon has an objective basis, although it is invisible and intangible. Mentor Liu Feng also said that this may not be a special function, at least not the kind of special function that many people think, but a supernormal ability that has been discovered and exercised through potential exploration.

If this is the case, then theoretically normal people should be able to master the same abilities after discovering and training their potential in a specific way. As for how far it can be mastered, it probably depends on talent, and Ding Qi is undoubtedly extremely talented in this aspect. It's like Usain Bolt can run 9.58 seconds in 100 meters, but it's hard for others to have this result.

This talent was discovered and discovered in the process of studying hypnosis, which is first and foremost to make the subject of hypnization enter a subconscious state. If observed by modern technical means, the activity of the cerebral cortex is inhibited, and only certain areas are excited. When it comes to the subconscious, many people may find it mysterious, but it is not difficult to understand. When people are awake and consciously active, they will be accompanied by a large number of subconscious behaviors, such as breathing, walking, and cycling.

People can consciously take active breathing, such as deliberately taking a deep breath when they are nervous, but in the vast majority of cases, no one deliberately thinks about and controls how they breathe.

\tWalking is more typical. People can control their steps and think about how to walk and run. But in the vast majority of cases, people may be walking while thinking about things and looking at the scenery, and do not need to pay attention to how they should walk. Vision, postural sensation, motor nerves, and muscle groups naturally complete this reflex process in a subconscious state.

Even more interesting than walking is cycling. In the process of learning to ride, it is necessary to maintain attention and active consciousness control at all times, but when you learn to ride and master this skill, unless you encounter an unexpected situation, you will not and do not need to think about how to ride.

Breathing is an innate instinct, walking is an ability to grow and develop, and cycling is a relatively complex skill acquired through learning. Therefore, the human subconscious mind is like a set program, some parts of the program are innate, and some parts are written through learning and mastery.

Many people feel that hypnotism is magical, unbelievable and even hard to believe, but its most basic principle is not complicated, that is, to let the hypnotized person enter the subconscious state, or temporarily replace the conscious with the subconscious. As for how to achieve this goal, it is the specific hypnosis techniques and methods, which vary from person to person.

Ding Qi mastered very well and very quickly in the learning process, and made a unique discovery, and the tutor Liu Feng also analyzed the causes of this phenomenon in principle.

Ding Qi is an excellent psychological counselor who is proficient in the technique of "empathy". The so-called empathy is to experience the heart of the help-seeker as one's own heart, but maintain a clear judgment and cognition, knowing that it is not one's own heart.

When Ding Qi performed the technique, he himself entered a state of sober self-hypnosis, filtered his own emotions, and unconsciously used the technique of empathy, so as to "feel" that he had entered the other person's mental world, and observed the other person's mental activities as if he were there. This is almost the highest level of so-called "empathy".

Of course, a good psychologist should master the techniques of inducing, suggesting, and associating freely to allow patients to enter relaxation and adjust their physical and mental state, and hypnosis is just one of them. For a counselor like Ding Qi, hypnosis is rarely used in his daily work, and there are many reasons for this.

After the rendering of stage performances and various film and television works, hypnotism leaves an exaggerated and bizarre impression on ordinary people, and the hypnotist has become a magic stick, which will inevitably cause misunderstanding among the help-seekers. In the real situation in China, this can also lead to various misunderstandings and disputes, which are not good for the counselor himself, not to mention the improper application of the technique.

Hypnosis is not the most effective and convenient means of psychological counseling in practice, and there are many other better ways to use it.

Not to mention the complex professional knowledge, hypnosis is difficult to accept in psychological counseling alone. The hypnotist needs enough patience to put the person into a hypnotic state and carry out careful subconscious adjustments, which does not guarantee success in a short time, while the psychologist has to complete the meeting within the agreed time.

So in the course of his work, Ding Qi has never used this talent of his own. In the mental health center, at least in the psychological counseling work, there are no counselors who use hypnosis techniques, and even the hospital leaders have specially greeted everyone.

\tIn the teaching of psychology at Kiang Wu University, hypnosis has never been set up, and it is not required for both undergraduate and graduate students. Ding Qi studied hypnotism in order to understand and master the skills in this professional field of psychology, and it was his mentor Liu Feng who taught him privately. Liu Feng has only taught a small number of students in a small area, this is not a teaching task, teaching is love, not teaching is duty.

\tMany people learn about hypnotism through film and television works, and there may be many misunderstandings. In fact, people's subconscious has the instinct of self-preservation, and will not be manipulated by hypnotists in a hypnotic state to do those things that they are not willing to do. For example, Tutor Liu Feng said that it is impossible to control a person to rob a bank in a hypnotic state, unless the person happens to be planning to rob a bank.

However, improper hypnosis can indeed lead to undesirable consequences, so one of the professional ethics that hypnotists must abide by is that the suggestive induction given must be positive and healthy. "Unless the person is going to rob a bank" is an example, and hypnotists should never give this kind of hint.

Regarding the "adverse consequences" caused by hypnosis, Liu Feng also told a past incident that made Ding Qi cry and laugh, which was Liu Feng's personal experience. Once Liu Feng went to an old friend's house as a guest, his friend's child was a programmer, and he heard that Liu Feng was the legendary "hypnosis master", so he had to pester Liu Feng to hypnotize himself, so as to experience the so-called hypnosis.

Liu Feng was entangled and couldn't do anything, and the atmosphere at that time was also very good, so he made a live demonstration. He put the lad into a deep hypnotic state in a matter of minutes, then made him open his eyes and walk to the table to have tea with a beautiful woman.

There was no tea and no beautiful women, but the young man walked over like that, making a gesture of pouring tea, offering tea, drinking tea, and talking and laughing at the empty seat next to him. After another while, Liu Feng asked the young man to leave the hypnotic state and regain his true sobriety. The young man asked Liu Feng, who was that beauty just now?

Of course the beauty did not exist, it was induced under hypnosis, the young man imagined it himself, but he seemed to be obsessed with her. Later, this young man had trouble finding a partner, and no matter what kind of girl his relatives and friends introduced to him, he couldn't look down on him. asked him what he was looking for, and the answer was very simple, it was the beautiful woman who drank tea with him in the hypnosis.

Is this a sick young man? His mental state and cognitive ability are very normal, and he knows very well that it is just a hypnotic experience, and the beautiful woman he saw does not actually exist, which excludes mental abnormality. And he can understand this state of mind of his own, he does not feel inner conflict and pain, everything is normal in study, work, and life, and there are no psychological problems.

In fact, Liu Feng knows very well that the problem is not caused by hypnosis. This young man has a mate selection standard in his heart, and he insists on the standard and is unwilling to compromise.

But on the other hand, Liu Feng's hypnosis made the young man's criteria for choosing a mate a clear and figurative beauty, is this the cause of this situation? This is something that no one can say! Ordinary people who do not understand the profession may think that "Master Liu Feng" is amazing. But from a professional point of view, this is not a glorious experience for Liu Feng.

There is a follow-up to this matter, and the old friend later asked Liu Feng if he could "delete" his son's memory? In the state of deep hypnosis, it is indeed possible for people to temporarily forget a specific memory, but it is only possible, and it needs to be actively cooperated by the other party.

Liu Feng knew that the real problem was, just deleting that memory might not work, but for the sake of his old friend's face and out of compensation, he still performed another spell. But this time, Liu Feng did not succeed, the hypnosis was successful, but it could not "delete" that specific memory, it seems that the young man himself is not willing at all.

Although the old friend did not publicly blame Liu Feng later, Liu Feng, as a big expert of such status, would not feel too comfortable in the future, so he rarely mentioned this experience, but only talked about it once when teaching Ding Qi's hypnosis, so as to remind Ding Qi to be cautious when using the sleep technique, and not to use it in psychological counseling.

As for the special talents discovered in the process of learning hypnosis, it is not easy to show them.

Back in the dormitory, Ding Qi's day's work was not over, and the evening was his daily study time. Jinghu University had just renovated several new faculty dormitories three years ago, and Ding Qi was fortunate enough to get a dormitory. A single room of about 20 square meters, without a kitchen, but with a separate bathroom, he is already very satisfied.

You can go to the staff cafeteria for dinner, and if you want to cook, there is a communal kitchen in the dormitory. In the dormitory, there is a one-meter-wide bed, a desk and a wardrobe, all of which are uniformly allocated by the school, which is also the welfare package left by the previous school leadership team to single faculty and staff.

\t There is no refrigerator in the dorm, in fact he should buy one, but he barely cooks and forgets all the time. The furniture he added himself was a large bookcase, which was already full, and even the corners of the room were piled with a lot of books and materials.

Sitting at his desk in the evening is usually the most peaceful and free time of the day for Tintzi. There was also a stack of textbooks on the table, which he pushed aside and opened the file given to him by his instructor. When he first sat down, he was in a happy mood, with excitement, looking forward to a better future, but when he opened the materials and looked at it, his expression gradually became solemn, and his brows were tightly locked and he fell into thought.

This is just a briefing on the case that Tutor Liu Feng specially asked for through a relationship, not a detailed file, and there is not even a photo of the suspect on it, but it makes Ding Qi, who is sitting alone in the room, feel a chill. He even felt the hazy silhouette of the suspect he had seen, with some physiological characteristics that were purely empirical inferences.

The suspect's name is Tian Qi, and he is only 20 years old this year.

The earliest situation introduced in the materials is that when Tian Qi was thirteen years old, he had a conflict with his classmates, injured his classmates and injured himself, and was criticized by the teacher and called his parents to the school to negotiate a settlement. But a week later, he actually ambushed the teacher outside the school on the way to get off work every day, stabbed the teacher, and almost died.

\tBecause he was not old enough, Tian Qi did not bear criminal responsibility, and his parents used a lot of social connections and lost a lot of money to settle the matter, and of course Tian Qi also transferred to another school.

\tWhen Tian Qi was sixteen years old, he pursued a girl and was rejected. Later, when he saw the girl "dating" another boy and walking into a hotel in a very intimate manner, he rushed into the hotel and seriously injured both of them. The girl was also left with a disability and a broken face. It turned out later that it was a misunderstanding, and the boy was just a relative of the girl.

This time, Tian Qi was not criminally punished, because he was found to be mentally abnormal and incapacitated when the case was handled. The diagnosis presented on the materials is a manic episode of schizophrenia (adolescent type), and the identification agency, the evaluator and the appraisal certificate are attached.

Tian Qi's father, Tian Xianglong, spent a lot of money on civil compensation and sent the injured girl abroad for cosmetic surgery. Tian Qi was also sent to a psychiatric hospital for compulsory treatment, and was discharged after three years, where he continued to be supervised by his guardian and has regained his most basic ability to live in daily life.

The most recent vicious case occurred a year after Tian Qi was discharged from the hospital, in Jiangbei District. The main urban area of Jinghu City is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, but since the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge more than a decade ago, Jiangbei District has become the fastest growing new district.

The murder happened in full view of everyone, the victim Zhang was shopping in the mall, Tian Qi walked around to him from the side and back, and stomped on his calf. The victim only cursed, "Are you insane?" and was immediately knocked down by Tian Qi with a murder weapon.

The murder weapon was a baseball bat that Tian Qi casually stole from a nearby sporting goods counter, and there was a salesperson chasing and shouting loudly behind him. Seeing the scene of Tian Qi's murder, the salesman was so frightened that he didn't dare to approach.

Tian Qi not only hit the victim with a stick, but after the victim fell, he also repeatedly hit his head and body with a bat, the method was extremely cruel, and the final scene was also miserable. Even the mall security guards who arrived were stupid and felt weak in their hands and feet.

According to the surveillance footage of the mall, the attack lasted about 90 seconds, and the victim should have died on the spot. Tian Qi then threw away the bat and repeatedly stomped on the victim's body with his foot, as if he was about to step on something on the ground. He stomped for about fifty seconds, almost all over his body, and then turned away as if nothing had happened, still muttering something in his mouth, and was subdued and arrested by the police who arrived at the scene.

The process of the case is very short, and the police actually come very quickly, and there is a police station in this mall. The police knocked Tian Qi down and subdued him with an electric shock baton, and Tian Qi had no murder weapon in his hand at that time, and was in a state of trance.

During the interrogation, the police handling the case discovered Tian Qi's mental abnormality. When answering why he wanted to kill, Tian Qi said: "I saw that guy was uncomfortable all over, he shouldn't have come out of this world, I had to beat him down and step on him." ”

\tWhere's killing someone, it's like playing whack-a-mole in a game hall. After investigation, Tian Qi had nothing to do with the victim Zhang, and he didn't know each other before.

Seeing this, Ding Qi took a few deep breaths to calm down for a while. From a professional point of view, he must remain calm and objective. The materials introduced three cases of suspects from childhood to adulthood, and I don't know how many more cases were not introduced, and Ding Qi's first judgment was antisocial personality disorder.

The characteristics of an antisocial personality usually refer to behaviors that do not conform to social norms, ignore the law, and are not only extremely selfish and ruthless. In judicial practice, however, it is not usually a ground for exemption from criminal liability.

The statement that "mentally ill persons are not criminally responsible" is actually a misunderstanding. China's criminal law stipulates that a mentally ill person who is unable to recognize or control his or her own behavior shall not bear criminal responsibility if the harmful results are confirmed through legal procedures.

In other words, the expert should not only determine whether the suspect is "sick", but more importantly, whether he can recognize or control his behavior when he commits a harmful act, focusing on the "state at the time of the incident".

Antisocial personality may be a mental disorder from a medical point of view, but the person usually has the ability to recognize or control behavior, knows what he is doing, and cannot be exempted from judicial responsibility. At least in the case of stabbing the teacher, Tian Qi has a clear goal, a clear internal relationship between thinking and logic, and a high degree of consistency in emotions, motivations, and behaviors.

Tian Qi was able to escape criminal punishment only because he was not yet 14 years old. But in the second case, which occurred when he was sixteen years old, a psychiatric evaluation was carried out and conclusions were reached, which, coupled with the fact that he had not yet reached the age of eighteen, still escaped criminal punishment and only received compulsory treatment.

Later, he was able to be discharged from the hospital and move like a normal person, and it seems that his parents spent a lot of money, including treatment and diagnosis, as well as civil liability compensation for the victim. As for the case that just happened, it is preliminarily inferred that it may be a manic episode of schizophrenia or a delusional disorder.

The specific situation is to obtain a detailed file for analysis, and the suspect is actually interrogated and tested before a conclusion can be drawn. It should be noted that this is different from the principle of "presumption of innocence" followed in criminal trials, and the forensic evaluation of psychiatric illness follows the "presumption of innocence", and does not treat the suspect as a mentally ill person in the first place.

\tThis simple material was used by Liu Feng to familiarize Ding Qi with the situation in advance. Of course, the mentor will not give him too difficult cases, and he is only one of the three expert experts to be a foil, which is just for him to accumulate qualifications.

The suspect had a history of mental illness in the past, and his behavior at the time of the crime was very typical of psychotic characteristics, and this identification was not complicated from a professional point of view, but Ding Qi sighed deeply after closing the file, and his heart was inevitably heavy.

Theoretically, the duty of the expert is to evaluate the suspect's ability to act at the time of the crime, as well as the ability to stand trial and serve a sentence after the crime. They are not judges, but only provide professional appraisal materials to the court to explain the mental state of the suspect at a specific time, and should not carry personal feelings or even some moral responsibility, which is a professional requirement.

Judicial appraisal is only one of the evidence in court, and it is the judge's responsibility to make the most appropriate judgment on how to use this evidence, how to consider the social impact and reduce the harm to society. However, most of the time, the judge will directly use the appraisal results to make a judgment, so that the appraiser feels that they are not only appraising, but also adjudicating.

Although professionalism requires that the appraiser must not have personal feelings, Ding Qi is also a living person, and he also has his own worldview and personal feelings. In his view, when today's courts cite appraisal conclusions, they mainly emphasize the ability to be responsible, but in the practice of judgment and enforcement, they do not pay much attention to another more important appraisal, that is, the results of the appraisal of social hazards.

The reason why Ding Qi felt complicated was also related to Tian Qi's father. This person's name is Tian Xianglong, although the specific background of Tian Xianglong is not introduced in the materials, only the name is mentioned, and Ding Qi does not know him, but he has heard of this person for a long time.
