Molana as a Therapist in the Modern Age

Poetry therapy is one of art therapy methods which has been used in order to relieve stress and as a way to treat psychological diseases and even sometimes to prevent psychological diseases. This therapy method has been the focus of interest among most of psychotherapists in recent years. And in some cases, the results obtained after carrying out this therapy method have been satisfactory. Therefore, since people in Iran regard literature and poetry, especially classical poetry highly, this therapy method to certain extent seems to be able to replace pharmacotherapy. However, this method has not obtained its place in Iran. Since Molana has a special place among Iranians and the poems of this great poet have given warmth to literature lovers, this research has attempted, with examining Molana's ghazals and finding the causes his poems affect readers given the new movement created as a result of positive psychology, to find the poems appropriate for poetry therapy so that they may help therapists and to some extent reduce sufferings of the present age human.
