ABSTRACT

This paper concerns the book Tribute to Freud, by Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) (1886–1961). In the book, H.D. – an important person in the modernist poetry scene – presents her psychoanalysis with Sigmund Freud (1856–1939). She describes how literature, sculptures, mythology, and symbols were central to their dialogues. I have analysed these dialogues with respect to the three components of poetry therapy, the receptive, the expressive, and the symbolic. Based on the analysis, I discuss how poetry therapy and psychodynamic practice can be integrated and how practitioners from the two orientations can learn from and inspire each other. I reflect on the presence of symbols and mythology in the book and suggest that the symbolic component, which has received the least attention, could be strengthened by the psychodynamic tradition’s acknowledgement of symbols and mythology. I also discuss how poetry therapy could inspire psychodynamic practitioners to acknowledge the expressive component.

摘要

本文涉及《向弗洛伊德致敬》一书, 希尔达·杜立特 (HD) (1886–1961)。在书中，HD——现代主义诗歌界的重要人物——与西格蒙德·弗洛伊德（Sigmund Freud，1856-1939）一起展示了她的精神分析。她描述了文学、雕塑、神话和符号如何成为他们对话的核心。我已经从诗歌疗法的三个组成部分——接受的、表达的和象征的——分析了这些对话。在分析的基础上，我讨论了如何将诗歌疗法和心理动力学实践结合起来，以及两个方向的从业者如何相互学习和启发。我反思了书中符号和神话的存在，并建议可以通过心理动力学传统对符号和神话的承认来加强受到最少关注的符号成分。
