Crazy Psychologist

Mu Chun, who suddenly heard this voice, suddenly opened his eyes. He had no time to think about what was going on, and only saw Zhang Mei standing in front of him seriously.

His hands were crossed in front of him. There was nothing friendly about this gesture.

Moral kidnapping from lawyers? Muchun suddenly had an idea. This lawyer must be kidnapping him today.

"I have discussed with Dean Jia and Shen Fan's father. Maybe you or your teacher should have a chat with Shen Fan, because his refusal to explain is very troublesome in the judicial process, and the case will be delayed again and again. It’s not easy to get married. You are now considered a well-known figure in the judicial circle. Even Professor Chu recommended Dr. Muchun to the judicial system to do some psychosomatic diagnostic reports, so I came to Huayuanqiao Hospital again. "

It sounded like he was here to ask for help, but when these words came to lawyer Zhang Mei, it became a matter of course that others should cooperate. The famous lawyer really has a way.

However, Muchun was already prepared, and Shen Fan's situation seemed to be in line with his previous judgment.

So Muchun planned to hand Zhang Mei a copy of the printed materials.

"What you asked for should be almost there. I can go see Chen Fan once and things should be almost clear." Muchun was too lazy to stand up and yawned, but stood up and handed the information to Zhang Mei.

At this time, Chu Sisi also came over after finishing her day's work.

Seeing my mother sitting on the chair and reading the materials attentively, her mental arithmetic was half relaxed.

"Teacher, mom wants you to talk to Shen Fan. I also want to know how to diagnose and treat Shen Fan's situation?" Chu Sisi said seriously.

"Well, I'll explain it together after your mother reads the materials." Muchun nodded in response.

Zhang Mei looked at it for a full twenty minutes before she raised her head, passed the material that Muchun printed to her to Chu Sisi, and then used her superb memory to ask some questions.

Zhang Mei was also very confused, "According to what Teacher Muchun said, this kind of theft may start in adolescence or even childhood? And it may last for many years or even a lifetime?"

"Well, it's like this. The basic characteristic of [Kleptomania] is the repeated inability to resist the urge to steal items, even though the items are not for personal use or monetary value. Secondly, before stealing, patients who meet the criteria of [Kleptomania], Tension often increases, and the person feels pleasure, satisfaction or relief when committing the theft.

Their stealing behavior is not "anger" or "revenge", nor is it a response to "delusions" or "hallucinations", nor is it better explained by conduct disorder, manic episode, or antisocial personality disorder. .

Although the stolen items are not valuable to the thief, and even the thieves have enough financial strength to pay for these items, and they usually do not use these items themselves, such as those stolen chocolates, Shen Fan did not eat them, he was not Stealing chocolate just to eat chocolate.

Some thieves will "throw away", "give away" or "store" the stolen items, and sometimes even return the stolen items. Although they do not use them themselves, these patients will still steal. Whether these items are used by themselves or not has nothing to do with them, and most of the time they do not use those items themselves.

Another point that is of great diagnostic value is that [kleptomaniacs] are less likely to notice that their behavior may be caught or being monitored. Although they will avoid stealing when they know that they may be caught, but In their consciousness, this alarm is not loud, and they rarely consider that their actions may violate the law and get arrested. "

After listening to Mu Chun's explanation, Zhang Mei had a new question, "Well, I think Shen Fan's current situation is very consistent with what Dr. Mu said, but there is one thing I don't understand. Since he knows that there is monitoring, he will avoid it. Theft, then how can we say that they rarely consider that they may be being monitored? Isn’t this contradictory?”

"Well, it seems so, but there are actually two mechanisms. One is knowing that there will be surveillance and being afraid of being caught; the other is that when resisting the urge to steal items, the brain's sensitivity to "monitoring" is reduced, and the alarm level Very low, or do not raise the alarm. On the one hand, they are afraid of being caught during normal times, and on the other hand, when the theft occurs, they neglect it.

Therefore, when making a differential diagnosis, it is not only necessary to base it on the [diagnostic criteria], but also pay attention to the differences from other disorders or criminal behaviors, especially [general theft] and [fraud]. "Mu Chun patiently explained one by one.

"It turns out to be so complicated, but the judicial aspect will be simpler. Based on the amount of property stolen and the frequency of theft, you can basically know whether it falls within the scope of public security issues or criminal law." Chu Sisi said thoughtfully.

Zhang Mei looked at Chu Sisi and responded: "Sisi is right. This is also the reason why Shen Fan's matter has been delayed so far. Obviously Shen Fan is not guilty of theft in the general sense, although Shen Fan himself is not considered. Mental state, just looking at the behavior itself, his behavior already constitutes theft.

So Dr. Muchun, how to identify [kleptomania] and general theft? "

Muchun took a sip of coffee, looked at Chu Sisi, and asked, "Do you want to try to explain it to Dr. Chu?"

"Me?" Chu Sisi looked at Mu Chun blankly, then took a deep breath and replied, "I'll try."

Zhang Mei felt that this was a waste of time and wanted Mu Chun to explain, but Mu Chun shook his head and said that Dr. Chu should be able to understand.

Chu Sisi spoke slowly, seeming to be sorting out her thoughts as she spoke, "Generally speaking, theft should be [intentional] and driven by the useful value or monetary value of the item, regardless of whether these behaviors are done in advance. Whether it's planned or impulsive, it's all intentional."

Zhang Mei felt that it made sense, and nodded: "That's right, [intentional] is one of the main characteristics. The most common thing is that those who steal things in shopping malls, especially in large shopping malls, are all for The value of these things, they are valuable and edible, you don’t have to spend money if you take them.”

"However, it seems that there are also some juvenile delinquents who steal things crazily in shopping malls and then refuse to change despite repeated admonitions. Are they considered [kleptomaniacs]? Especially those who steal classmates' belongings and school belongings at school." Chu Sisi Turning his attention to Muchun.

Mu Chun just opened the drawer and didn't know what he wanted to get. When he saw Chu Sisi asking him a question, he had to push the drawer back.

"Ah, juvenile theft may involve [rebellious behavior] or [anger], and it does need to be distinguished from [kleptomania], so we have to go back to the initial diagnostic criteria of [kleptomania] for evaluation. If there are no other kleptomania characteristics, this diagnosis cannot be given.

What are the diagnostic criteria for [Kleptomania]? Please refer to the following points:

1. Repeatedly unable to resist the urge to steal items that are not for personal use or monetary value.

2. Increased tension before theft.

3. Feeling pleasure, satisfaction or relief while stealing.

4. Theft is not an act of anger or revenge, nor is it a response to delusions or hallucinations.

5. The theft is not better explained by conduct disorder, manic episode, or antisocial personality disorder.

Teenagers, especially children of this age group who are in school, will steal out of "angry" and "rebellion". This situation is not uncommon as Dr. Chu said, but the prevalence of "kleptomania" is very low. According to the current national According to statistics from relevant reports around the world, the prevalence of kleptomania among the general population is only 0.3%-0.6%. "

"Then Shen Fan is still very rare -" Chu Si thought to make the atmosphere more relaxed, Zhang Mei did smile, and the atmosphere in the outpatient room was indeed much more relaxed than at the beginning.

Muchun took a deep breath, picked up the coffee cup and drank a few sips.

"By the way, Lawyer Zhang, if a reputable celebrity is accused of some disgraceful crime, he or she will usually deny it, and then find a lawyer to defend himself. They are not afraid of spending money when hiring a lawyer, right? For celebrities, reputation must be the most important thing. Even if the legal fees are expensive, you won't care." Mu Chun suddenly changed the topic and asked Zhang Mei for advice.

"Does Dr. Muchun want to introduce clients to me?"

Muchun shook his head quickly. This lawyer's words really made him wonder how to respond every time. It was such a weird brain circuit.

"I just thought of it and asked. By the way, as a reminder, if a celebrity has some kind of violent tendencies or has a behavioral disorder, he may also engage in theft to retaliate against society. At this time, you still need to pay attention to identification." Mu Chun insisted. The scalp is pretentious.

"Huh? If Dr. Muchun has any questions, you can ask them directly. Answering medical questions to citizens can be regarded as part of a doctor's responsibility. Similarly, it is our duty as lawyers to explain some legal issues to citizens. What questions do you have? Just ask.”

As soon as he finished saying something nice, Zhang Mei immediately frowned and looked at Chu Sisi, "But having said that, it seems that Sisi's legal knowledge has been used up or lost. It should be a step backwards to stay where it is." That's great, otherwise Dr. Muchun wouldn't have so many troubles, right? So now, Chu Sisi, do you still plan to be a doctor here in the new year?"

Chu Sisi felt particularly embarrassed when her mother asked her this, but she couldn't say anything. Her mother's temper wasn't very good recently, and it would really do no good if she offended her.

So he hesitated and didn't know how to pass the test.

Only hearing a harsh sizzling sound, and then a clanging noise, Chu Sisi realized that Mu Chun was losing his temper at the drawer.

"Ah, I finally found it." There was another bang, Mu Chun pushed the drawer back as he spoke. "This table doesn't seem to be very good, otherwise"

Seeing Zhang Mei staring at him intently, Mu Chun swallowed the words as they came to her lips.

"This is a course offered by Jingyi University in the second half of this year. If Dr. Chu wants to go, you can discuss it with Professor Chu. Judging from the feedback from patients, patients' families and the hospital, Dr. Chu is excellent in all aspects. These It is obvious to all that in the process of cooperating with the police, Dr. Chu is also quick-thinking and has given everyone a lot of constructive suggestions. He has also been making progress in terms of work ability and self-cultivation. It is conceivable that if he goes through Jingyi again After studying the physical and mental courses at the university, you will definitely become an excellent helper in one or two years." Muchun praised Chu Sisi without any secret, and also expressed great encouragement for her to participate in the postgraduate course.

Liu Dandan had mentioned these things before during the case discussion, but didn't it seem that Teacher Muchun had heard about them for the first time?

When did he get these course materials, and when did he prepare these things and put them in the drawer.

Did he know that his mother would come? Or is it that the teacher has plans for many things? I really don’t understand.

Chu Sisi was still puzzling over this matter, so Zhang Mei finished reading the material accompanied by the sound of the air conditioner heater.

"Lawyer Zhang's reading speed is really amazing." Mu Chun said lazily as he got off work.

"Mom almost has a photographic memory." Chu Sisi said proudly.

Being praised by his daughter in front of outsiders, there was a faint smile on Zhang Mei's lips.

"Okay, I understand. I can't have any objections if you follow your father who only cares about learning. But has Teacher Mu Chun started teaching seriously now?" Zhang Mei looked at Mu Chun curiously. Then he said: "I have always heard that Dr. Jia has a lot of opinions about you. He was late for work, left the outpatient department for an entire afternoon without knowing where he went, was indifferent to other colleagues, misled young colleagues, and induced Interns from other departments work in your psychosomatic department, and they get too close to patients. They eat hot pot with patients, and even have their videos filmed and posted online.

What's even scarier is that I heard that Dr. Muchun has a weird hobby, right? "

Muchun yawned again. He was as sleepy as a cat on a winter evening. "What? What weird hobby? My hobby is reading. I have no other hobbies. I haven't discovered them myself."

"One? I heard that Dr. Muchun likes to go to people's homes to see dead people." Zhang Mei's tone was nothing special, but it sounded a bit weird.

There was obviously no wind in the room, but at some point, the door suddenly opened.

"Who?" Muchun suddenly shouted.

Unexpectedly, it did not scare Zhang Mei, but instead shocked Chu Sisi.

"Who is there?" Muchun asked again with a serious face.

"No, there's no one." Chu Sisi said fearfully.

At first she was serious, but someone suddenly appeared behind her. Then Chu Sisi thought that it might be Teacher Mu Chun who was deliberately scaring her mother. Now seeing Mu Chun's expression becoming more and more serious, Chu Sisi really felt nervous.

"Don't come out, I'll go take a look." After saying this, Muchun stood up with his hands on the table.

It only takes six or seven steps for an adult to walk from Muchun's location to the door.

Walking to the door, Muchun saw an injured orange kitten.

Chu Sisi waited until Muchun didn't come back, then bravely walked out. When she saw an injured cat lying on the ground, she felt strange.

"Here, is this cat's leg injured?" Chu Sisi asked.

"Well, it should be. It's still bleeding. The wound needs to be treated. It's just a wild cat. Chu Sisi should not touch it." Mu Chun blocked Chu Sisi behind him.

Zhang Mei heard the conversation between the two, put the course introduction of Jingyi University back on Muchun's desk, picked up the documents of "Kleptomaniac" and walked out.

"What's wrong? Is Dr. Mu going to be a veterinarian?" Zhang Mei said.

"Well, let's take a look at the wound first. It's already off work time and there won't be any patients. I'll take a look at it later. If Lawyer Zhang has any further questions, you can come to the hospital to see me or consult Chu. Professor Chu is more authoritative than me about the possible co-morbidities of [kleptomania],” Mu Chun said modestly.

He was so humble, but Zhang Mei was confused, wondering why Muchun suddenly became sensible? It seems that he is different from when he was healthy half a year ago, but he is becoming more and more like what he was before.

Speaking of which, before he fell ill, Chu Xiaofeng's evaluation of him had always been calm, steady, and knowledgeable.

Zhang Mei didn't know whether he had gained a lot of knowledge in the past six months, but words like calm and steady seemed inappropriate for Mu Chun.

Zhang Mei told Muchun that Shen Fan would be arranged to meet with him in the next few days to conduct an on-site assessment and give realistic advice from the perspective of a psychosomatic doctor.

I thought that Muchun would say something weird again to try to refuse, but I didn't expect that Muchun would directly nod in agreement this time.

After all, the knowledge popularization rate in the mind-body department is so low that no one can understand these things. Even when I was with Chu Xiaofeng in the past, I occasionally heard Chu Xiaofeng talk about some cases and knowledge. Zhang Mei also listened to In the fog, it may still be a bit difficult for everyone to understand this subject and its role.

However, the news from Zhang Mei is that after the Lunar New Year, some psychosomatic courses will be introduced in the spring judicial system training courses. It seems that the idea of ​​​​Ruanhai City's judicial system is also because several recent cases are related to Muchun.

————————————————

Muchun walked to the first floor to get some disinfectant cotton swabs, gauze and iodine. He met Liu Tiantian who had not yet got off work and Liu Dandan who was talking to Liu Tiantian.

"Why don't you get off work?" Muchun asked.

"We saw that you haven't gotten off work yet." Liu replied lightly, turning around in circles.

Muchun was a little dizzy, so she asked Liu Tiantian for these things, and then informed him that an injured kitten appeared upstairs. It looked like it was only a few months old.

Liu Tiantian has always liked cats, so he suggested that she help the kitten treat its wounds.

Muchun agreed.

The kitten looked very tired. Liu Dandan spread the paper and white cloth on the table and gently placed the kitten on it. It didn't struggle, and even its meowing was very weak because of exhaustion. It narrowed its eyes into two slits and looked at it. It's like he doesn't want to get up.
