How To Read Another People Mind?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    If you are talking about there being a method in psychology by which you could read somebody's mind that doesn't exist. Psychologists basically diagnose their patients and identify the mental disorders they may be afflicted by, by observing certain symptoms that are associated with different kinds of behavioural disorders. Psychoanalysts get to the root of people's anxieties and the causes of their disorders by psychoanalysis, which is a method in which the psychologist talks to the patient and gropes for the sensitive areas in their talk about their lives, childhood etc. Once they notice that at a certain point in the narrative the patient hesitates or skips and jumps over to an entirely different topic, the psychologist discovers that there is some conflict involved which is related with that particular part that the patient deliberately skips. Once the psychologist knows that he probes those areas and encourages the patient to confront the truth, which they keep running away from, and the denial of which has caused the behavioural symptoms. Once the patient begins to confront those bitter thoughts, memories or experiences and begins to share them with the psychoanalyst, the latter encourages the patient to cope with the conflicts in their minds and thus come to a resolution of sorts. This is how psychologist find out about the underlying causes behind their patient's psychological problems and not by some mind- reading method.
