A Quantitative-qualitative investigation in psychological articles on Nezāmi's Poetry (1921-2015)

This article explains the differences between various works of Ganjavi in terms of their suitability for psychological critique and investigates the employment of diverse psychological theories to critique Nezāmi’s works qualitatively and quantitatively. It is a library study and employs descriptive- comparative analysis method. 32 articles are examined based on analysis of each of Nezāmi’ works and the psychological aspects of them are examined in four areas: Lacan-Freud's theories, Jung-Campbell's hypotheses, general psychology, and psychology of colors. As time goes on, the investigators' interest in criticizing the psychology of Nezāmi’s poetry increased. Haft Peykar has been criticized more than other works psychologically, which indicates the intentional or unintentional Nezāmi’s attitude towar the psychological characteristics of the story characters. Of the four mentioned areas of psychology scholars have used Jung's theories far more than other approaches, which may be due to the greater appropriateness of this method for studying Nezāmi’s poetry. Nezāmi in ​​his Haft Peykar provides the most suitable ground for psychological studies, and Jung's theories provide the most appropriate method for the psychological critique of Nezāmi's works. In some cases, the authors have suggested pseudo-psychology as a psychological analysis of Hakim Ganjavi's works that has no research value.
