 Poetry has much in common with psychoanalysis, given that both of them rest on emanations from the unconscious. Poetry can function as an aspect of the analytic third co-created by the treatment dyad. It can be used as part of the analyst’s internal supervisor, and can offer glimpses into the soul of the patient.
