Two days later, Xiao Min visited again, still accompanied by Officer Yang. Xiao Min's mood stabilized slightly, but she still refused to speak. I decided to use the DAP test for her. Machover has said that most of the visitors can indeed judge the subject's emotions, psychosexual maturity, anxiety, self-blame, hostility, and many other qualities in the painting. The expression of feelings of Chinese is different from that of the West, but there are similarities. In my practical experience over the past few years, DAP can be used as a primary test method to test the psychological state of the client very quickly and effectively.

I took out a few sheets of A4 paper and a box of colored pencils, which were of different colors and hardness, and there were nearly 100 of them. I said to Min, "Let's try drawing people today." Let's draw a woman first, okay? ”

Xiao Min subconsciously picked up the pen and looked at me suspiciously. I encouraged, "You can draw any kind of woman, but you have to be a whole person." "It should be easy to draw a woman. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiao Min to finish drawing. I looked at Xiao Min tentatively: "The drawing is very good, can you draw another man?" Xiao Min's brow furrowed, and I added, "You can do anything, you can draw a person who makes you feel safe." This time, Xiao Min stumbled and stumbled, and it took more than forty minutes to draw the outline of a man.

I put two paintings of Xiao Min together, Xiao Min's painting of women, the proportion is very small, in the lower corner of the paper, is a projection of inferiority and cowardice. The lack of eye circles, a slender neck, and an unwillingness to accept external stimuli are a sign of defense.

I said softly, "This girl seems to be very timid. Xiao Min shrank even tighter after hearing this, and I continued: "She's afraid that others will hurt her, isn't she?" Xiao Min bowed her head and said nothing.

I continued to look at the painting, frowning. The girl's hand was held, and in the qualitative analysis of DAP, it showed that she had a secret in her heart. What could be the secret?

And the portrait of the man, with large proportions, especially a large head, shows that this man is very authoritative in Xiaomin's heart; The hair is thick, which shows that Xiao Min is very manly in her heart; The shoulders are square, indicating that Xiao Min has a thirst for strength in him. But other than that, nothing else, including the face, is blurred. Xiao Min used dark gray to draw the man, so that all the lines were not clear.

I thought for a moment and said, "Xiaomin, would you mind talking to me about your family?" I saw that Xiaomin's face did not resist, and continued to ask: "Is it that the weight of the mother in the family is very heavy, but the father's is very light?" ”

Xiao Min was stunned for a moment and nodded. I continued, "So, you really want to have a man to give you support and strength. Is that right? Xiao Min stared at me tightly, her eyes misty, with a hint of longing.

I asked again, "But now, you're not sure if he can give you something to rely on, are you?" Xiao Min looked like she had been hit by something, and lowered her head to stop looking at me.

After dozens of seconds, Xiao Min suddenly spoke: "I, can I?" ”

She spoke! I didn't expect such a big breakthrough to happen so soon. I tried my best to suppress the excitement in my heart and smiled at her, "Xiaomin, I'll answer this question for you next time." You go back and think about how you can answer this question yourself. I handed her the colored pencil and said, "This is for you." If you can't figure it out, use drawing instead. ”

I stopped the treatment in time, and for a defensive character like Xiaomin, it is far better to chase after the victory than to suppress it first, giving her a buffer time to think.

When Officer Yang learned that Xiao Min said something, he was very excited, and praised me for my "superb medical skills", which made me embarrassed.
