Psychoanalysis as a literary theory has helped to improve understanding about “human behaviour and human mental functioning.” This is achieved through its perception of the human race as neurotic. However, with its application in poetic interpretation, poetry is perceived as an expression of displaced neurotic conflict: a consoling illusion, symptom, socially acceptable phantasy or substitute gratification. With the psychoanalytic reading of the poetry of Tanure Ojaide, an Anglophone African poet, poetry is understood as an expression of symptoms of the poet’s personal and societal neurotic tendencies. Since our emphasis is on Jungian psychoanalysis, analyzing Ojaide’s poetry through the orbits of the archetypes of Jungian psychoanalysis help to foreground the poetry as a consoling illusion or substitute gratification. Whereas the study reveals that Ojaide’s poetry is dominated by the archetype of the “wounded healer” a symbol of a wounded personality who also doubles as the needed messiah (the healer), it is depicted that the dominant nature of the archetype of the “wounded healer” is a result of the poet’s experience which is at the centre of his poetic expression.

塔娜·奥雅德诗歌的精神分析读物

精神分析作为一种文学理论，有助于增进对“人类行为和人类心理功能”的理解。这是通过将人类视为神经质而实现的。但是，由于将其用于诗​​学解释中，诗歌被视为流离失所的神经质冲突的一种表达：一种安慰性的幻觉，症状，社会上可接受的幻象或替代满足。通过对英语非洲裔诗人塔努尔·奥贾德（Tanure Ojaide）诗歌的心理分析阅读，诗歌被理解为是诗人个人和社会神经质倾向症状的一种表达。由于我们的重点是荣格精神分析，因此通过荣格精神分析原型的轨迹来分析​​奥雅德的诗歌，有助于将诗歌作为一种安慰性幻象或替代性满足。
