The paper aims to find data on potentialities for Humanities Therapy. It examined the letters and poems of Emily Dickinson, an American poet of the nineteenth century, to study Loss and Mourning in her death poems. Dickinson grew up near the cemetery, where she frequently saw the funeral procession. She also earned the nickname “Master of Death Poetry” for her many poems that depicted the landscape of death. Dickinson, who was sensitive and frail, spent her life away from social relationships. Dickinson witnessed the deaths of his family and acquaintances several times in such a setting. When Dickinson was severely limited in her social activities, she mourned the pain of loss primarily by writing letters or poems. As in the case of ‘Anna O’ in Freud and Breuer’s clinical cases, expressing emotions as they are can be considered a form of “talking cure.” Dickinson’s poetry self-therapy experiences through poetry contributed to positively sublimating meaning in life. Based on this, Dickinson’s letters and poems are considered suitable materials for Loss and Mourning counseling in humanities therapy.
Abstract
The paper aims to find data on potentialities for Humanities Therapy. It examined the letters and poems of Emily Dickinson, an American poet of the nineteenth century, to study Loss and Mourning in her death poems. Dickinson grew up near the cemetery, where she frequently saw the funeral procession. She also earned the nickname “Master of Death Poetry” for her many poems that depicted the landscape of death. Dickinson, who was sensitive and frail, spent her life away from social relationships. Dickinson witnessed the deaths of his family and acquaintances several times in such a setting. When Dickinson was severely limited in her social activities, she mourned the pain of loss primarily by writing letters or poems. As in the case of ‘Anna O’ in Freud and Breuer’s clinical cases, expressing emotions as they are can be considered a form of “talking cure.” Dickinson’s poetry self-therapy experiences through poetry contributed to positively sublimating meaning in life. Based on this, Dickinson’s letters and poems are considered suitable materials for Loss and Mourning counseling in humanities therapy.
