Features: 27 years ago, in the second year after China resumed the college entrance examination, a shy and reserved boy skipped grades to enter a key university, earning widespread admiration. A bright future, sweet hopes, and restless emotions stirred within him. However, his sensitive and fragile personality, coupled with a lack of understanding of real life, quickly overwhelmed him. He contracted a strange illness, medically termed "obsessive-compulsive neurosis," or OCD, often referred to as the "cancer of the spirit." This unfortunate boy, after nearly 20 years of painful struggles and psychological exploration, finally emerged from the vortex of obsession through his own wisdom and perseverance, eventually becoming a psychologist. Using his rich life experiences as a thread, he vividly portrays OCD as a "demon" with unique insights and perspectives, in plain language and with an engaging style, drawing readers into the inner world of those suffering from OCD. Through his research in psychology and combining his experiences in self-redemption, the author proposes an innovative theory of three selves and a highly practical self-psychological therapy. Portions of the book were published online and immediately sparked a strong response, with rave reviews. Some exclaimed the birth of a Chinese version of the Morita therapy, while others praised the author as China's Freud. Many patients believed they gained more enlightenment from the book than from professional textbooks. This book has guided countless individuals, including those with OCD, on the path to recovery, helped countless people suffering from psychological pain break free from the shackles of their minds, and transformed their lives.
