Although she wished she didn't have a mouth now, Jenna still tried hard to clear her throat and took a deep breath to calm herself down so that she could learn more from the handouts in front of her.
The handout showed that this was another serial murder case of three in a group. The victims had their genitals removed, their skin peeled off, stuffed with straw and placed on the field, becoming a veritable "scarecrow".
This case is not as old as the previous cases that happened decades ago. It happened a few months ago, but the murderer has not been caught yet, which means that this is another unsolved case with no conclusion.
After a few seconds, Jenna clarified her thoughts and said, "I think the murderer was indeed humiliating them, but not out of his instinctive desire, but for a reason. He was seeking revenge."
When she said this, Jenna paused and began to explain in detail: "Because... because he stuffed straw into their bodies. This kind of dry straw is usually regarded as useless. He put this thing
Stuffing it into their bodies just means that their bodies are full of waste..."
"Wait a moment, miss." Schiller frowned slightly and said, "Is this what you really think?"
Jenna seemed a little at a loss, but she still nodded. Seeing that Schiller's face was not good, she explained: "Grain plants are usually regarded as new life and hope in the wheat seedling stage, and in the harvest stage they represent a bumper harvest, which can be used as a fruitful harvest."
The fruits have been harvested, and the remaining dry straw is no longer so valuable..."
Schiller shook his head and said: "No, this is not the real reason why you came to this conclusion. You are just trying to find a reasonable logic."
Jenna opened her mouth, but she still said: "No, that's what I thought..."
"Obviously your previous teacher did not give you good guidance." Schiller crossed his fingers together and placed them on the desk of the podium and said: "Some of his words and actions may be hinting to you that if there is no logic, it will be wrong."
You should be ashamed, so you are desperately trying to find a logic that seems barely reasonable to explain your feelings."
"But in fact we don't need to be like this. Human beings relied on logic and rational thinking to establish modern society, but earlier, we relied on abundant emotions to form a society. Emotions are more instinctive than logic. Between them
There is no distinction between high and low, high or low."
"If you think that the more rational people are, the nobler they are, you are denying the value of the existence of writers and artists who have created countless romantic epics throughout history. The fact is that reason and sensibility are indispensable. It is pathological to abandon one and exalt the other.
of."
Schiller took a breath and said: "People will inevitably use themselves as a reference and prefer one side, but as a teacher, I will sincerely encourage you to show your preferences, even if it is not in line with my preferences, as long as you have an opinion
OK."
"So, in my class, you can conduct purely rational arguments to prove that you have rigorous logical reasoning ability, or you can simply express your feelings and express how you feel about certain things.
Emotions, no matter what they are, are not wrong.”
"Can behavioral analysis not consider emotions? Of course not. In countless cases of passion murder, the murderer's motivation is very simple emotion. They are angry, so they kill, they are sad, so they kill, they may even be excited.
To kill people, if you can't understand their emotions at all, you won't be able to pinpoint their motives."
"The same goes for psychoanalysis. You may think it is illogical, but in fact, the logic of psychoanalysis is internal and exists in the mind of the analyst."
"Somewhere in their brains, the empathy organ is still operating according to a certain logic and receiving analytical output. This process is still traceable."
"For example, different information received may lead to different analysis results. When we appear at the scene, we feel a three-dimensional atmosphere, and the analysis organ works fully, so we can naturally get more comprehensive results."
"But if we take a photo, what we can analyze is very limited. Even if someone knows about the users of psychoanalysis and takes precautions in advance, using the lens or editing to change some factors of the photo, we will naturally
You can’t get the right answer.”
"Skills are those that will be interfered by various factors, which means it has some kind of internal logic. Every link in the logic that is affected may change the result. No matter how much interference is caused, it is a curse or prophecy that means the result will not change.
That is a totally illogical existence.”
"Just because you are good at behavioral analysis does not mean that you are insensitive to emotions, but that you prefer rigorous reasoning. Being good at psychoanalysis does not mean that you are illogical, but that you prefer to understand others in an empathic way."
Schiller raised his eyes to look at Jenna and said: "This is true for every subject. In the academic world, there is actually no framework that restricts you. There may be two so-called restrictions."
"One is that your ability is insufficient and you can only adopt this method. You can only infer the meaning of the straw, so you can only say this. The other is that you have limited yourself and miscalculated.
I took a long detour to get to the end point.”
"Which one do you think you are, Miss?"
Jenna was suddenly enlightened.
Before, she always felt that psychoanalysis and behavioral analysis were completely separate, because the differences between the two were so great that they could not see anything in common. The two schools were also at loggerheads, each wanting to falsify the other.
But now Schiller standing in front of her made her understand why the name of Schiller Rodriguez will be engraved in the history of psychology and why he is the true master of psychology.
In the final analysis, psychology is the study of human psychology, and human psychology is never just one of logic or emotion, but is intertwined and interact with each other.
If you only study one of them and exclude the other, it is metaphysical and one-sided, and you will never achieve academic achievements.
Only by placing the two on an equal footing, recognizing the mutual influence and role between the two, and deeply understanding that no matter which one is separated cannot be called psychology, can we be able to make contributions to our own psychology in the palace of psychology.
A name earns its place.
Compared with Schiller, Bruce's only difference was that he did not really believe that psychoanalysis existed in this world for a long time.
Like most Batmans, he believes that rigorous inferences can be called reasoning. He often ignores the role of emotion and the changes that empathy can bring to people.
As long as he has doubts, or even slight uncertainties, about empaths, he will not be able to go further on the path of psychology.
As for Jenna, she originally thought she had to choose one of two paths. She thought she should have the courage to break through herself, so she wanted to jump to the other path.
But now she discovered that these are not two roads, but one road, but some people regard logic as the road and emotion as the handrail, while some people do the opposite.
For natural empaths, their ability to empathize is the solid road under their feet, but this does not mean that they must not be able to use any handrails.
It does not mean that when they hold on to the handrail, they must keep their feet in the air and not touch the road. Instead, they should hold on to the handrail while walking, so that they can walk more steadily and further.
Jenna's mistake was that in order to make her derivation look more logical, she kept walking on the thin and narrow handrails, and she still felt that she was steady.
Little did they know that Schiller, who was also an empath, and students who were able to use behavioral analysis method freely saw this, and they all thought that this girl was mentally ill and had to perform acrobatics there when she couldn't walk on a good road.
But acrobatics are very cool after all, and some students who can't even walk will naturally think that Jenna is very powerful, which makes her lead many students astray.
The moment Jenna figured it out, her feet fell back to the ground, and she stretched out her hands to find the armrest. At this moment, she felt that her thinking had never been so stable.
When a car drives on a stable road, the next step is to speed up, and Jenna's mind starts to work efficiently.
"Okay, professor, I understand. Can I take back what I said before and say it again?"
"Of course, you always have a chance, miss."
"I think we should start with the duties of the scarecrow. When the scarecrow was invented, it was to guard a field and prevent the grain from being eaten by crows and other birds. This has a strong symbolic meaning and is what the murderer will do.
The main reason for choosing a scarecrow theme.”
"The victims must all be law enforcers. Their role and status in human society is like a scarecrow guarding an area in a field to prevent the perpetrators from committing crimes."
"The biggest difference between law enforcement officers and ordinary people is that they have weapons that ordinary people do not have, and their duty is to use violence to maintain social stability."
"So the murderer removed their genitals, which meant that he confiscated their weapons. He believed that they did not perform their duties well and therefore they were not worthy of having weapons."
"He was mocking them. He made them into scarecrows and placed them in the fields. He was telling onlookers that if they, as human beings, cannot take a good look at the area they are responsible for, then they should become scarecrows and take care of the grain.
"
"I observed that in the photo of the handout, the skin that was removed and sent to the medical examiner had very obvious peck marks, so this has a further ironic meaning, because the crows that most often haunt the fields are omnivorous.
Birds, the smell of rotting skin will attract them, and they will use their sharp beaks to tear off the skin that is still intact and use it as their own food."
"The scarecrow attracts crows, which actually implies that many crimes in society are caused by law enforcement officers. Not only are they incompetent, they are also the source of darkness and crime."
"The above are the conclusions I got by observing the photos and conducting common sense analysis. As for the murderer's own emotions, he was angry and sarcastic. They are just the most superficial and superficial emotions. I think the most worthy of discussion is
It’s some humiliating emotion.”
"Normally speaking, if a person is treated unfairly by law enforcement and these people are made into scarecrows, in addition to anger and hatred, he will either show the joy of getting revenge or the instinct of a sadist.
pleasure, but not this murderer."
"The pleasure of revenge comes from the avenger taking the perspective of the victim, and experiencing their pain before death, and then feels that his revenge has been avenged. The pleasure of the abuser comes from taking the role of the murderer, releasing the cruelty and violence in his personality
part that makes him feel happy.”
"But the murderer was assuming the perspective of Straw. He felt that he was forcibly stuffed into a certain space, and that something was tightly wrapping and restraining him, making him feel powerless and humiliated."
"And it is precisely because these things restricted him that he could only do this. He regarded serial murder as an artistic act, and he believed that without these restrictions, he should have created better works of art.
.”
"Based on the current social situation, I think what limits and restrains him may be his personal financial situation."
