ResumoDie skryf van poesie bevat 'n helende element, maar hoe werk dit? Jonker en Plath het voortdurend oor spieelbeelde, oe en identiteitsvrae geskryf. Verskillende sielkundige teoriee in verband hiermee, onder andere die van Winnicott, Jung en Lacan, word bespreek. Plath se Mirror en Words kom spesifiek ter sprake asook Jonker se Op alle gesigte. Die gevolgtrekking dui dat 'n sielkundige struikelblok, of kripta, die digter forseer om telkens nuwe woorde vir sy / haar trauma te soek. Mirror images in the work of Ingrid Jonker and Sylvia Plath Writing poetry has an element of healing in it, but how does it work? Plath and Jonker continually wrote about mirror images, eyes and questions of identity. Different psychological theories surrounding this issue, including those of Winnicott, Jung and Lacan, are discussed. Plath's Mirror and Words as well as Jonker's Op alle gesigte are specifically examined. Concluding remarks reveal that a mental block, or crypt, will always force a poet to reword his / her trauma.
