After Du Tianwei drank the water, he precipitated his thoughts and began to talk to me.

"I've been working as a psychiatrist for more than 10 years, but I have a very difficult problem. A friend of mine, his name is Li Zhiyong, and his son Li Guoyi has a personality disorder, a very serious personality disorder. Although I have met many patients with personality disorders and helped them be treated, this is the first time I have seen such a serious personality disorder as Li Guoyi. From the first time they first stepped into my private psychiatric clinic, I noticed that something was wrong, Li Guoyi's abnormality was too obvious. ”

Du Tianwei suddenly stopped when he said this, looked at the rain outside the window, and continued: "I still remember that it was raining that day, almost the same as now, the light rain is still a little depressing, and the most important thing is that the sky is still very heavy. At that time, I was lying in the sofa chair and taking a nap when I heard my glass door banging loudly, and the silent knocking on the glass kept me from sleeping. When I opened the door, I was caught by a small child with a freckled face, he was not very tall, and it was a cute time to say that such a small child was cute, but I could not see how cute the child in front of me was. ”

"You can't imagine how froze that kid's expression would be. His eyes couldn't focus at all, he didn't know where to look, and he didn't know what to see. He didn't know how to find a place to hide from the rain, and let the rain water him, but he still couldn't move. I met his father Li Zhiyong that day, at that time, Li Zhiyong had a scruffy beard, and he looked like he was in his forties. Li Zhiyong was a bit of a stutterer, and when he saw him, he stammered and asked me if it was Dr. Du. ”

When I answered, I beckoned the two of them into the house, and the man immediately told me his name, that he was a massager. is also self-employed, opened a private massage and massage parlor, his son is called Li Guoyi, who has just turned eight years old. At this time, he told me bluntly, and he was very eager to find a psychiatrist to enlighten Li Guoyi, who had a serious mental disorder. Actually, I don't need to say it, I know that his son has a very serious psychological problem. ”

"As I expected, according to Li Zhiyong's description, I know that his son Li Guoyi is a taciturn child. is not good and does not want to communicate with people he doesn't know, even his closest parents talk too much to him, then it is easy to be anxious, his aunt once communicated with him too much, inadvertently angered him, and was bitten by him. But one of the most frightening things about this kid is that he enjoys the pleasure of torture, and I feel that he has a demon living in his heart. Li Zhiyong told me that Li Guoyi always likes to torture all kinds of small animals, and the toys he buys are always in pieces. Li Zhiyong was afraid that he would get sick, so he could only buy toys for his son to play with. ”

Hearing this, I felt that toys were a breakthrough, so I asked Du Tianwei: "This boy named Li Guoyi, what toys does he like?" ”

"He likes toys with long necks, so let me tell you, he likes soft toys for animals like giraffes now. Moreover, he always said in fragments that he was going to break the neck of a woman with a long neck, and he would break it violently. ”

Such a little boy actually likes plush toys with long necks, I don't understand what kind of fun he has? Moreover, toys are not used to play with but to destroy, and they are especially fond of twisting the necks of long-necked animal toys. And what is the long-necked woman he is talking about? It seems that the long neck is the childhood shadow of this boy named Li Guoyi.

Although I got the answer, I didn't understand it, so I could only listen to Du Tianwei continue.

"I knew you would be surprised, you can't think of it, Li Guoyi's long-necked toy, it's not used to play but it's a catharsis tool, I don't know how many giraffe plush toys have been broken. Li Zhiyong also told me that every time he broke a giraffe toy, he always smiled with satisfaction and said, finally broke your damn long neck, haha! ”

"I am a professional psychiatrist, and I have come into contact with patients with all kinds of psychological disorders, but it is the first case that a child like Li Guoyi loves torture and abuse so much, after all, he is an eight-year-old child, why is this so? So, I told his father, Li Zhiyong, that his son has serious antisocial tendencies, and his personality is problematic and extremely unsound. The reason why he is reluctant to interact and contact with others is because it is easy to hurt others, and if he continues to develop like this, he will hurt innocent people. Because, I know that people like Li Guoyi have such abnormal personalities, it is caused by some dark experiences, and there are really not many children who have such experiences, if they are born like this, then there is basically no hope of cure. Even if it is acquired, then it is difficult to completely cure. ”

After listening to Du Tianwei's description, I already knew in my heart that if I was an ordinary psychiatrist, I would definitely quit if I encountered such an old and difficult patient. After all, the reputation of their private clinic is the most important, and Chinese people have a habit of remembering the bad of others, and the good will not be remembered at all. To use the old saying, that is, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

Since Du Tianwei found it, it is said that he took this patient, and he has not done it yet, and if he does, he will definitely not come to me. Perhaps, he has encountered an anomalous problem again, and maybe there is some supernatural phenomenon for me to solve.

Du Tianwei continued: "Originally, I wanted to refuse, but I couldn't stand his father Li Zhiyong begging me all the time, he begged me in a panic, saying that I should help Li Guoyi. To be honest, I wasn't very sure, but after thinking about it, if I really solved this abusive psychological disorder, wouldn't I be famous? In the future, there will be more and more people who come to me for counseling on psychological problems, one after another. So, yes, I said yes. But I still said the ugly things to the front, according to Li Guoyi's situation, the treatment will be a very long process, and the most important thing is that the cost of treatment is also very high, and you must be prepared to take medicine for a long time. Li Zhiyong agreed very simply and happily, after all, Li Guoyi is his only son and the future of the whole family, so as long as he can cure his son's mental illness, no matter how much money he spends, he will admit it. Under the double lure of fame and money, I took this hot potato head-on. ”

I understood what Du Tianwei meant, this was to let me solve the problem with him, so I asked again, "I understand what you mean, you can't handle this matter alone, you want to ask me for help." Since you are the person introduced by the second senior brother, okay. Tell me about the patient's family first. ”

"No problem. Li Zhiyong's wife finally gave birth to Li Guoyi because of dystocia, but she died of heavy bleeding. The death of his wife hit Li Zhiyong very hard, and he was a father and a mother by himself, and it was not easy to make Li Guo bigger. The massage parlor is his only source of income, and he is trying to maintain it, just giving massage to people in the massage parlor is already very hard, and he has to take care of his son when he goes home, which makes him dizzy. After Li Guo's sixth birthday, Li Zhiyong found out that something was wrong with his son, and he always got angry from time to time, and said that there was a woman with a slender neck who came to pester him every day. Li Zhiyong also discovered that his son's spirit was wrong at this time. began to take him around to seek medical advice, but ah, the psychiatrist found a lot, but it was not good. Gradually, Li Guoyi's illness became more and more serious, and he began to torture small animals or destroy toys with long necks for fun, I don't know why Li Guoyi always had a violent tendency towards long necks. ”

Du Tianwei finished introducing the other party's family situation and Li Guoyi's illness, and then said: "I later tried to communicate with Li Guoyi and asked him some irrelevant questions. The purpose was to test his communication skills, language skills, and his father said that he was easily irritated. But ah, Li Guoyi's answer was very blunt, and I felt that he had closed himself off and did not allow others to enter his world. This is called self-isolation in psychology, which means that you are unwilling to communicate with others, and it is difficult to communicate with others. After that, every week, Li Zhiyong would bring Li Guoyi to my psychological clinic for a day or two. Because I am not sure what medicine to give Li Guoyi, every time I come, I communicate with him and do some verbal psychotherapy. Sometimes, I take him out to have a look, constantly comfort and encourage him, instill in him good things and thoughts, try to bring him into contact with this society, and be willing to communicate with people. Gradually, he became a little more complex, he no longer talked to people like before, and became more cheerful. ”

I smiled and said, "That proves that you have made a good start, maybe if you keep going, you will cure his mental illness." ”

"Yes, this child's psychology is my own, and I don't dare to use medicine casually. You can only knock on the door of his heart little by little, let him open his heart and accept others. It's a pity that it didn't take long for him to communicate effectively with the treatment, and the previous treatment effects were in vain. Not only did his condition not improve, but it became more serious, in fact, this is all within my expectations, people with mental disorders are sensitive and abnormal, and if they don't completely reverse his wrong thinking, it will be in vain. Because, when he was inadvertent, he left a psychological shadow, so it is really difficult to correct it. Preconceived! Another time Li Zhiyong was in a very bad mood, saying that Li Guoyi, a doll, broke the necks of several giraffe plush toys, some were broken, some were bitten, and some were cut, in short, he felt that the long-necked thing was very evil. Du Tianwei reluctantly repeated the words to me.

I also thought what he said was boring, and directly pointed to the point, "You said that Li Guoyi always has a violent tendency towards long necks, so did you bring him the long neck toy that he broke?" I think the problem is with the long neck, and these ruined toys may be the clue. ”

Du Tianwei really brought these plush toys over, he went out and brought in a big bag, which was full of long-necked toys that were violently destroyed by Li Guoyi, and eighty or ninety percent of them were giraffe plush toys.

Looking at the destroyed toys, I teased, "This kid is so interesting, toys are not used for play, but for destruction." How much money does this have to waste to his father? Oh, by the way, how often does this kid break a toy with a long neck? ”

Du Tianwei said: "Not necessarily, there was less damage before. However, the destruction has been very frequent lately, basically one plush animal a day. As soon as his father bought a giraffe's toy, it was a sack, and as soon as Li Guo was sick, he would take out one and give him gas. If Li Guoyi, a child, can't find a long-necked toy to vent, he will go crazy and become out of control. There was one time before, just because he didn't have a long neck to vent to him, and the family was in a mess. ”

"Then you can't do it, you're a professional psychiatrist, you can't do it, how can I?" I asked.

"I suspect that he is not so simple as a psychological problem, I think he has hit an evil spirit."

"Hit the evil spirit? Hmph, don't say it's useless, you say, how do you want me to help you? ”

"Why don't you pretend to be a psychiatrist? Just as the foreign aid I invited, you can use the set of your yin and yang feng shui master to take a look. What do you think? ”

I nodded, "Okay, but I'm not very sure, but I'll give it my all." ”
