Positive psychoanalysis of the poetry of Khalid Abu Khalid

Psychoanalytic criticism, as one of the recent approaches to literary criticism, is based on the principles of psychology and the discovery of how the unconscious mind of a poet affects the creation of literary work and the criticism and analysis of literary texts. It is also a positivist approach that explores the mental values payoff an author. Contemporary Palestinian poetry is considered as one of the most prominent manifestations of humanity in the world literature. Using a descriptive-analytic method, this study seeks to identify the most important psychological characteristics of positivism in the anthology of Khalid Abu Khaled, a prominent contemporary Palestine poet. For its data, the study draws upon five booklets of poetry including Al-Jadal fi Muntasaf al-layl, and Shaheran Salasali Ajie, Baisan fi Al-romad, Asmika Bahran, and Dami nakhil lennakhil. An important finding of this study is the presence of active elements and the interconnection of positive emotions in his poems. For example, with a purposeful application of lexemes such as "Sofa" and the repetition of motivational words such as "wounds”, “blood” and “fire” as well as verbs that denote movement and uprising, the poet gives a rise to positive elements such as happiness, hope, wisdom and goodness. It inspires the audience to cross the challenges of life and achieve victory. Finally, by giving meaning and purpose to efforts for a bright future, his works play a significant role in creating mental health for the individual and the society and instruct the reader to focus on positive and constructive elements.
