Despite the emerging evidence base to support the therapeutic potential of creative writing and poetry for a variety of mental health problems, the therapeutic potential of poetry for people who have experienced psychosis remains poorly understood. The paper argues that by considering psychosis as meaningful poetics, this epistemological shift has the potential to foster curious inquiry and increase opportunities for meaningful dialogue. The paper introduces and explores the concept of the 'poetic wavelength', building on the previously established notion of the psychotic wavelength, which proposes that others need to 'tune in' to what is being communicated through psychosis. The concept of the poetic wavelength suggests that the reading and writing of poetry may support this process of 'tuning in' both for those experiencing psychosis and those working therapeutically with them.
尽管越来越多的证据支持创意写作和诗歌对各种心理健康问题的治疗潜力，但诗歌对经历过精神病的人的治疗潜力仍知之甚少。本文认为，通过将精神病视为有意义的诗学，这种认识论的转变有可能促进好奇的探究，并增加进行有意义对话的机会。本文引入并探讨了“诗意波长”的概念，它建立在先前确立的精神病波长概念之上，该概念提出其他人需要“调谐”到通过精神病所传达的内容。诗意波长的概念表明，诗歌的阅读和写作可能会支持这种“调谐”过程，无论是对于经历精神病的人还是与他们一起进行治疗工作的人。
