Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?! Chapter 432 - 425: The Possibility of a Master of All-Style

[Avoidant Attachnt Personality].

Upon hearing this term, Bai Qinghua remained calm, while Chonghui seed pensive.

Even Shi Qianqian seed to reflexively recall related knowledge points.

[Avoidant Attachnt Personality] is a major type within adult attachnt theory.

In the 1950s, British psychiatrist John Bowlby proposed the earliest [Attachnt Theory] through studying mother-child relationships.

This theory posits: A special emotional bond exists between infants and their caregivers, this bond is instinctual and affects the interpersonal patterns of the infant throughout their life.

In the 1970s, Arican psychologist Mary Ainsworth further explored this emotional bond between infants and caregivers through the [Strange Situation Experint].

The procedure of this experint is not complicated: first placing the infant and mother in a strange environnt, then letting a stranger enter, then having the mother leave, after a period of ti allowing the mother to return.

By repeating the above experint procedure, observing the behavioral changes of infants in different situations, scholars eventually summarized three infant [attachnt styles], including:

[Secure Attachnt]: Infants of this type appear safe and comfortable throughout the process. They explore the environnt freely with the mother present; when the mother leaves, they show a certain degree of unease but continue exploring; when the mother returns, they actively seek physical contact and quickly calm down, resuming exploration.

[Resistant Attachnt]: Infants of this type exhibit high anxiety and unease throughout. They cannot explore the environnt with the mother present, constantly focusing on her; when she leaves, they beco distressed and anxious; when she returns, they want her comfort but simultaneously show rejection.

[Avoidant Attachnt]: Infants of this type seem indifferent throughout. They explore the environnt whether the mother is present or not; they do not beco uneasy if she leaves; they do not seek comfort upon her return.

And [Avoidant Attachnt Personality], is the primary personality trait of Avoidant Attachnt infants who grow up without intervention education.

—All this information quickly flashes through the minds of Chonghui and Shi Qianqian.

Actually, the term [Avoidant Attachnt Personality] feels sowhat ambiguous here, because the theory of [Adult Attachnt] is generally applied in the field of [Intimate Relationships].

Describing the visitor’s behavior in Nan Zhubin’s consultation, it seems... well.

But at this mont, using it to describe the visitor’s social style isn’t incorrect, since [Intimate Relationships] are inherently part of social interaction.

And if the word "attachnt" is removed, using [Avoidant Personality] directly seems too heavy — as [Avoidant Personality] typically describes personality disorders, belonging to the category of Abnormal Psychology.

anwhile, using the term [Avoidant Attachnt Personality] imdiately brings to mind childhood family relationships among professionals, exploring early childhood experiences—

Making Nan Zhubin’s consultation style appear more [psychoanalytic] at this mont.

...

Nan Zhubin continued: "Later in the consultation, he chose to avoid discussing his deeper issues, rely talking to about superficial symptoms and relatively shallow experiences."

"Given that his personality traits have been identified, these behaviors are easier to understand; and upon receiving more information about him later, I can develop a template for analysis..."

Bai Qinghua nodded, asking: "So you discerned this underlying tone of the visitor, thus choosing your consultation style?"

Nan Zhubin nodded as well: "Teacher, you know I co from a [Cognitive Behavior] background, usually more [Humanistic]. But with the current visitor, these two thods are less efficient, so in balancing effectiveness, I chose the thod I am using now."

This statent left Chonghui and Shi Qianqian silent for a mont.

While Chonghui was fine, Shi Qianqian was incredulous, almost unable to resist voicing doubts to Nan Zhubin again.

Because Nan Zhubin’s previous statent, along with that series of [micro-expression analysis], were equally incredible and defied common sense.

Normally, consultants specialize in a particular school or technique, and dabble briefly in others.

This is because during consultations, consultants evaluate both the visitor and their own skill-set’s fit with the visitor’s problems; if the visitor’s issues cannot be solved with their current skill style, they pass the case on.

These consultants aren’t incapable of learning techniques from other schools, but they can’t develop such thorough understanding of the visitor in just one or two — even two or three sessions; too many techniques mastered can put them in a bind, unsure which style to employ with the present visitor.

Better to adhere to one style from the beginning, using a specific technology style to intervene with the visitor. If suitable, continue; if not, switch persons.

Nan Zhubin’s behavior amounts to openly saying—he’s a kaleidoscope of consultation techniques.

He can identify the visitor’s type soon after consultation begins, thereby selecting the most suitable consultation style for the current visitor.

Countering each move, it’s practically the psychological version of the famous swordplay "Nine Swords of Dugu"!

With this skill, barring issues unresolved due to lack of life experience, Nan Zhubin could handle almost all types of visitor problems.

This—possible?

Chonghui marveled.

Shi Qianqian marveled with so skepticism, hesitating to doubt due to the reactions of her senior and teacher.

Bai Qinghua had no ti to observe his two disciples’ reactions; his attention was completely drawn to Nan Zhubin.

Previously even he didn’t realize that sufficiently powerful [micro-expression analysis] could wield such formidable power.

Attempting— to cultivate a "master of all school consultations"!

Bai Qinghua’s eyes gradually glead at Nan Zhubin.

However, his expression and tone remained composed.

"Okay, you’ve identified so personality psychological traits of the visitor, and thus chose your consultation style for this occasion."

"Based on the information you’ve gathered in this consultation, what direction is the problem leading him to consult about?"

Nan Zhubin already had a basic judgnt for this question.
