For the first time, a Swiss doctor named "Johannes Hofer" coined and used this term in an article he published to describe the mental states of two patients. This article was written on June 22, 1688. One of Dr. Hofer's patients was a student from the city of Bern who had come to Basel, and the other patient of this doctor was a servant. Both of these people recovered completely after returning to their families. Of course, in today's psychiatry, the correct term to refer to the problem of these patients is "adjustment disorder". Nostalgia and memories of the happy times of the past and complaints about the times and the present are topics that everyone always discusses. But this discussion has a special place in literature and poetry, and the expression of this issue is more profound in poets than others. This research attempts to address the position of nostalgia in contemporary literature and the works of the poets in question. Nostalgia is one of the most significant topics in Persian literature, which has not been discussed much. In short, nostalgia is a bitter and sweet inner feeling; They have defined objects, persons, and situations of the past, and its other meaning is a strong longing for the hometown.
